Ionic App - Plugin not found after update to Cordova Android 8.1.0

Question

I was working on my ionic 4 app. Now few days back Google Play Console has mentioned to set TargetSdkVersion to 28. So I just did the same. I upgraded my cordova android version from 7.1.4 to 8.1.0.

Now when I've compiled the app, it shows whitescreen after splash. Upon checking in the Remote Device Console, I got this strange error.

I have tried almost everything like uninstalling and installing the plugins, created new project, updated ionic, npm, etc. but no luck.

I have also installed android sdk api version 28 (android pie).

But if I am downgrading my app back to cordova android 7.1.4, it runs normal. Any suggestion is appreciable.

@NajamUsSaqib I have seen this. But using this method throws white screen after splash. — vitorio
Have you looked for messages in logcat as well? You may find that there is an incompatibility in the native code of one of your plugins — MStoner

I found the solution. I have to upgrade my Node Version to 10. And updated android-manifest.xml.

It was working fine.

Thanks
