I found the solution from https://github.com/terikon/cordova-plugin-photo-library/issues/107#issuecomment-367320068 I updated plugin.xml with <dependency id="cordova-plugin-file" version="6.0.1"/> to fix this issue

I got this issue because I used plugin "cordova-plugin-file-transfer", so both of them use cordova-plugin-file => conflict. I solve it by those steps below:
1. Remove plugin "cordova-plugin-file-transfer":

ionic cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-file-transfer

2. Add plugin "cordova-plugin-photo-library"

ionic cordova plugin  add cordova-plugin-photo-library

3. Re-add plugin "cordova-plugin-file-transfer":

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-file-transfer

and run ionic cordova prepare to build sources.

I had this same problem with the File plugin. I had to match the version in plugin.xml (cordova-plugin-file) with the latest version. You will also need to review project.properties and build.gradle

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: Cannot find module '../cordova/platform_metadata' error.

It was a bug in in cordova-plugin-add-swift-support, you just need to update it to its latest version

cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-add-swift-support

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-add-swift-support
