Unable to run app using cordova after installing Firebase X

Ionic Framework
1

I am able to run my ionic app using ionic cordova run android fine, but then I add the following plugins:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebasex

npm install @ionic-native/firebase-x

Then I add the following to app.module.ts:

import { FirebaseX } from '@ionic-native/firebase-x/ngx';

providers: [
FirebaseX
]

Now when I run the app, it fails, & I get the following console output, can someone please tell me what I did wrong & what needs to change:

idem here, following…

also added to project structure

multiDexEnabled true
implementation 'androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.0'

but same error while building

UPDATE
I was able to build also adding multiDexEnabled true in build.gradle at module level

Modify the module-level build.gradle file to enable multidex and add the multidex library as a dependency, as shown here:


android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 15 
        targetSdkVersion 28
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
}

this work for me;
Add o update is version in gradle.properties

cdvMinSdkVersion = 21

And platform/android/build.gradle

defaultMinSdkVersion = 21
