Do you have <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="30" /> specified in the config.xml?

yes. Have set it to 31

This may point you in the right direction: cordova-android-11 build error · Issue #1482 · apache/cordova-android · GitHub.

In short: check your plugins. you have one that needs to be updated.

You can run npm outdate and it will show which packages need updates.
