Update the following Cordova DTS files with content in the corresponding link to the Definitely Typed GitHub. Copy and paste contents of corresponding files

This solution worked for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57972192/10058447

Added "skipLibCheck": true in tsconfig.json: 

"compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "target": "es5",
    "skipLibCheck": true
}
