Cannot find symbol method "setAppCacheEnabled(boolean) - Ionic capacitor application

Question

I am working on an ionic/angular application with Capacitor. I got an email from Google, and then we had to upgrade the Android SDK version to 33 from 32. When I upgraded the compileSdkVersion I got an error when building the APK.

C:\Users\sanjeewa\Desktop\The link\link\link-client\node_modules\@capacitor\android\capacitor\src\main\java\com\getcapacitor\Bridge.java:421: error: cannot find symbol
        settings.setAppCacheEnabled(true);
                ^
  symbol:   method setAppCacheEnabled(boolean)
  location: variable settings of type WebSettings

[enter image description here][1]

As the Google docs, that method is removed. Does anyone know how to fix this? [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/J7dTx.png

Hi I am late but this will help

Just make a change in Bridge.java file

settings.setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_DEFAULT);
