Probably the same as #188, Capacitor is not yet tested nor fully supported.

I'm also having this issue on cordova as well. I'm using cordova android 10. iOS works fine! Using 0.9.6.

[YanDevDe]

v0.8.1 (which I used before) seems to be working well.

[timbru31]

A couple of helpful things for me to debug:

• Can you post a full build log?
• Did you try to remove and re-add the plugin?
• Can you provide an example project/repository?

[vovka-s]

Guys, I have found a solution to launch this plugin on Android on ionic6 + capacitor3

1. First of all your need to replace jcenter repo with mavenCentral in android/build.gradle due to jcenter is deprecated now
2. Then update cordovaAndroidVersion to 10.1.1 in android/variables.gradle
3. The next problem is that capacitor does not support cordova plugins written on kotlin (discussed here).

To fix it you need to

• Open Android Studio --> Tools --> Kotlin --> Configure Kotlin in Project. Then select the "capacitor-cordova-android-plugins" Module and configure.
• add capacitor:sync:after script to package.json like described here

Script was modified by me to fix the version of androidx.core:core-ktx, so I paste it below
In package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "capacitor:sync:after": "node scripts/fix-capacitor-android-plugins-kotlin-version.js"
    ...
  }
}

The script file:

const fs = require("fs");

if (process.env.CAPACITOR_PLATFORM_NAME === 'android') {
  let file = fs.readFileSync('./android/capacitor-cordova-android-plugins/build.gradle', 'utf8');

  file = file.replace(/apply plugin: 'com.android.library'\n\s*\n/, `apply plugin: 'com.android.library'\r\nif(project.hasProperty('kotlin_version')) {\r\n    apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'\r\n}\r\n\r\n`);
  file = file.replace(/implementation "org.apache.cordova:framework:\$cordovaAndroidVersion"\n[ ]{4}\/\/ SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES START/,
    `implementation "org.apache.cordova:framework:$cordovaAndroidVersion"\r\n    if(project.hasProperty('kotlin_version')) {\r\n        implementation "androidx.core:core-ktx:$androidxCoreVersion"\r\n        implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"\r\n    }\r\n    // SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES START`);

  fs.writeFileSync('./android/capacitor-cordova-android-plugins/build.gradle', file);
}

4. After that I got an error like "Can't call a method on null object reference" in LottieSplashScreen.kt:284:
   webView.engine.evaluateJavascript("document.dispatchEvent(new Event('lottieAnimationStart'))") { }
webView.engine is null. I dont know why. I dont use this event in js, so I just comment that row and 3 others and made a patch:

Appreciated your debugging and the workaround 👏

About the webViewEngine being undefined.... this sounds similar to the iOS fix I've submitted: ionic-team/capacitor#4039 - sadly this need to be fixed by the Capacitor team.
Can you report that the webView.engine.evaluateJavascript is undefined for Android?
