Ionic Capacitor - Import Android is fails

[CarlosFJ]

Well, I'm working with this plugin in an Ionic Capacitor project. When the app is synchronized in android, Android Studio not find "import android.support.customtabs.CustomTabsIntent" in BrowserTab.java file.

This issue is resolved to changing the imported line to: androidx.browser.customtabs.CustomTabsIntent.

May I supposed that is a change in Android ?? or an issue ??
Thanks, Carlos.

I think this package is abandoned, if we want to fix this issue we can use the NPM patch-package to patch this package directly on node_modules as there no more release on this.

Or we can try to use https://github.com/TobyEb/cordova-plugin-colored-browser-tabs instead

This plugin is unnecessary in Capacitor. Just use the Browser API: https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/browser

@mlynch this plugin is still required by cordova-plugin-firebasex, it may not be so easy to just dump it. What it needs is a 'revamped' upgrade that allows it just to install properly on recent cordova-android versions

npm install jetifier
npx jetify

This keeps the wagon rolling.
