How to resolve Babel issue when trying to run Geolocation on Android device?

Issue

I am trying to add Geolocation to my ionic app, running these commands:

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-geolocation
npm install @ionic-native/geolocation

And then trying to run it on my android device (ionic cordova run android).

However, I'm getting this error message:

An unhandled exception occurred: [BABEL] C:\Users\damie\Documents\Ionic\geoLocation\www\0-es2015.js: Could not find plugin "proposal-numeric-separator". Ensure there is an entry in ./available-plugins.js for it.

Can someone please tell me how to resolve this issue?

Solution

I managed to find a solution to this:

1. Delete node_modules and package-lock.json
2. Add “resolutions”: { “@babel/preset-env”: “^7.8.7” } to package.json

3. Run npm install npm-force-resolutions --save-dev
4. Run npm install
5. Run npx npm-force-resolutions
6. Run npm install again

Then run your app (i.e. ionic cordova run android), & should work
