Unable to add native camera plugin in ionic project

Ionic Native

Hello,

I am trying to add camera plugin and get this error
Installing “cordova-plugin-camera” for android
Failed to install ‘cordova-plugin-camera’: CordovaError: Version of installed plugin:
“cordova-plugin-compat@1.0.0” does not satisfy dependency plugin requirement “cordova-plugin-compat@^1.1.0”. Try

It looks like the plugin version does not support the version of ionics? How fix this?

Thanks.

this works for me
cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-compat --force
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-compat

Ionic doesn’t require cordova-plugin-compat by itself - you probably have another Cordova plugin already installed that uses it in version 1.0.0 and now the new plugin wants a newer version 1.1.0.
