'Ionic6 Capacitor: After adding "cordova-plugin-advanced-http", app build in studio start giving error cannot find symbol CordovaPluginPathHandler

Please help resolving this issue. I was able to build app in android studio after command "ionic capacitor build android". Android works fine until I added the plugin cordova-plugin-advanced-http, the error stated as follows:

You should upgrade the version of the cordova android.

For the file android/variables.gradle

Change the cordovaAndroidVersion = '7.0.0' to cordovaAndroidVersion = '10.1.2'

In the meantime, you should change the minSdkVersion to >= 22

To ensure this works, do following;

Go to this location on your file explorer <android\capacitor-cordova-android-plugins\src\main\java\org\apache\cordova\file> the location houses plugins to make your app work.
Create a new file name it "CordovaPluginPathHandler.java"
Open the file, then paste the code below in there

package org.apache.cordova;

import androidx.webkit.WebViewAssetLoader;

/**
 * Wrapper class for path and handler
 */
public class CordovaPluginPathHandler {

    private final WebViewAssetLoader.PathHandler handler;

    public  CordovaPluginPathHandler(WebViewAssetLoader.PathHandler handler) {
        this.handler = handler;
    }

    public WebViewAssetLoader.PathHandler getPathHandler() {
        return handler;
    }
}

save file, then go and build app.

As a temporary solution, I downgraded the version of cordova-plugin-file to 6.0.2, it works for me
