@Ionic/Angular peer dependency on rxjs conflicts with @ionic-native/core

Issue

I have a dependency issue in my @ionic/angular 7.1.1 project.

@ionic-native/core latest ver 5.36 appears to have a peer dependency on an rxjs version compatible with 5.5.0 or 6.5.0.

I can't install this rxjs version because @ionic/angular 7.1.1 requires rxjs >= 7.5.0.

So how do I get around this?

Project Info:

Ionic CLI                     : 7.0.1 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@ionic/cli)

Error:

I tried adding backward compatibility for modules with dependencies of rxjs versions up to 6.6.7, in my package.json:

"rxjs": "^7.8.1",
"rxjs-compat": "^6.6.7",

Then I deleted my node_modules folder, package-lock.json file, and ran npm install but I still had issues.

@ionic-native/core and @ionic-native/native-page-transitions are both latest versions 5.36 and they require rxjs 5.5.0 or 6.5.0, so not sure why rxjs-compact 6.6.7 doesn't provide backward compatibility needed.

Solution

As of ~ September 27, 2021 all Cordova plugins were moved to a community maintainer. You will need to move all @ionic-native/* packages to their new package name: @awesome-cordova-plugins/*.

npm install cordova-plugin-name
npm install @awesome-cordova-plugins/name
