i got this, kindly suggest a solution

Request a new public API

If you cannot find an alternative to using a non-SDK interface for a feature in your app, you can create a feature request for a new public API to be added to the SDK.

When creating a feature request, provide the following the following information:

Which greylisted API(s) you are using currently, including the full descriptor seen in the Accessing hidden ... logcat message.
Why you need to use these APIs, including details about the high-level feature that the API is necessary for, not just low level details.
Why any related public SDK APIs are insufficient for your purposes.
Any other alternatives you have tried and why these didn’t work out.

When you provide these details in your feature request, you increase the likelihood that a new public API will be granted.

https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/restrictions-non-sdk-interfaces

But i am not native app developer, do not know what to do

I just noticed similar errors for an internal play store build I did earlier in May. It was the first build I submitted after updating the Cordova Android platform to version 8. My app is using Ionic v4.

mhartington · May 23, 2019, 2:15pm

This just looks like certain APIs inside and the cordova-android project need to be updated soon. As they’re just warnings for now, there’s no need to be concerned. But it is something that the cordova-android repo should update.

I would suggest opening an issue on the cordova-android repo (maybe even sending a PR?) so that it can be tracked.

This has nothing really to do with Ionic, but is do the cordova.
