I am running my Ionic 4 app using ionic cordova run android, & it builds & works fine on my device.

However, now I'm trying to install Firebase X by running:

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebasex
npm install @ionic-native/firebase-x

Then I add this to my app.module.ts:

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

providers: [
    FirebaseX,
]

After only making these changes, I run ionic cordova run android, but it fails & the following is logged to the console:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Add ur build.gradle filePeter Haddad
Hi @PeterHaddad I've added it above. I've since made some changes based on developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex, & I think that may have resolved it. I'm testing the app now to confirmuser9847788

You need to upgrade the minSdkVersion, from the docs:

If your minSdkVersion is set to 21 or higher, multidex is enabled by default and you do not need the multidex support library.

Therefore update it to version 21

To do that, go to config.xml at the root of your project and change line

<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="19" />

to

<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="21" />
