android 10 doesn't support whitelist plugin
Solution 1
The replies from Sanjay and Francisco helped me to find the right solution. Along with fixing the package.json and other existence of 'whitelist plugin' from the project, you also need to run the following to uninstall it from the android/ios platforms.
ionic cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-whitelist
Update - For whatever reason, this started throwing errors again. See Rajath's answer. (thank you, Rajath!) In short, add the plugin again from the github repo instead
cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer.git
Solution 2
Cordova 10+ includes the Whitelist class and no external plugin is required. In addition to removing it you also need to update the file transfer plugin.
So, you need to do two things:
-
Update the file transfer plugin. Even though this plugin is no longer recommended, the developer has thankfully updated the plugin to support the new Whitelist class, which is now included by default in Cordova. You will have to do this by installing directly from the github repo:
cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer.git
-
Remove the whitelist plugin
cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-whitelist
H/T to the original response in this thread
Solution 3
cordova version 10.0.0 or later does not need cordova-plugin-whitelist plugin you can just simply remove them . cordova 10.0.0 or android 10.0.0 (API 30) have inbuild core whitelist so you can remove and make build again
Solution 4
I think you have the same problem i had to sorted out.
Go to your Cordova Folder path and edit the package.json file removing the two lines that references cordova-plugin-whitelist.
And all will be perfect after that.

Android 10 doesn't support "whitelist plugin", when I add android platform it skips whitelist plugin which cause "file transfer plugin" issues when building or running the application
ionic cordova platform add android@latest Installing "cordova-plugin-whitelist" for android Plugin doesn't support this project's cordova-android version. cordova- android: 10.1.0, failed version requirement: >=4.0.0 <10.0.0 Skipping 'cordova-plugin-whitelist' for android
When creating the application, these errors will appear :
ionic cordova build android
Task :app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac D:\workspace\SCL\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\org\apache\cordova\filetransfer\FileTransfer.java:48: error: cannot find symbol import org.apache.cordova.Whitelist; ^ symbol: class Whitelist location: package org.apache.cordova D:\workspace\SCL\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\org\apache\cordova\filetransfer\FileTransfer.java:691: error: cannot find symbol Whitelist whitelist = (Whitelist)gwl.invoke(webView); ^ symbol: class Whitelist location: class org.apache.cordova.filetransfer.FileTransfer D:\workspace\SCL\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\org\apache\cordova\filetransfer\FileTransfer.java:691: error: cannot find symbol Whitelist whitelist = (Whitelist)gwl.invoke(webView); ^ symbol: class Whitelist location: class org.apache.cordova.filetransfer.FileTransfer Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details. 3 errors
it seems like "file transfer" require "whitelist plugin" but "whitelist plugin" is being skipped when adding android > 10
this doesn't happen in android 9
anyone can help please ?

Nagendra Badiganti over 2 yearsThanks for answer. But what about iOS build? Does it require to whitelist the urls in iOS ?

peterc over 2 yearsYes same question re iOS, and WIndows, but looks like this may only have even been for Android? (see cordova.apache.org/docs/en/9.x/reference/… only support Andorid)
