After updating my App to targetSdkVersion 31 camera is not loading anymore. When clicking on cameraBtn as shown bellow my app displays the alert "Camera unavailable". navigator.camera is undefined. I'm familiar with the plugin usage, I have been using it for the last years successfully, but for some reason now I'm moving to targetSdkVersion 31 it is not working anymore. I appreciate if anybody can give me directions here!
document.addEventListener('deviceready', function() {
cameraBtn.addEventListener('click', function() {
if (!navigator.camera) alert("Camera unavailable")
else if (!navigator.camera.getPicture) alert(navigator.camera)
navigator.camera.getPicture(
function(imgData) { // success
},
function(msg) { // fail
},
{
quality: 60,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
mediaType: Camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
cameraDirection: Camera.Direction.BACK,
correctOrientation: true,
targetWidth: 512,
targetHeight: 512
}
);
});
});
Here is my app plugin list:
C:\htdocs\app\myapp>cordova plugin list
cordova-plugin-barcodescanner 0.7.4 "BarcodeScanner"
cordova-plugin-camera 6.0.0 "Camera"
cordova-plugin-compat 1.2.0 "Compat"
cordova-plugin-device 2.1.0 "Device"
cordova-plugin-geolocation 4.1.0 "Geolocation"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.4 "Whitelist"
And this is my config.xml

I could solve the problem removing camera plugin and adding it with ANDROIDX_CORE_VERSION 1.8.0 as suggested on cordova-plugin-camera github
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera --variable ANDROIDX_CORE_VERSION=1.8.0
Previously package.json was showing ANDROIDX_CORE_VERSION 1.6.+
