Ionic build failed "unexpected element <provider> found in <manifest>"

Question

I have this code

<provider
    android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
    android:authorities="nl.x-services.plugins.videocaptureplus.provider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:grantUriPermissions="true" >
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
        android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" />
</provider>

But if i try "Ionic cordova run android" i have this error

What can I do with this error?

Answer 1

The issue seems to be with VideoCapturePlus as I was getting the same problem. I have swapped it for MediaCapture and no longer have this problem.
