android.support.v4.content.FileProvider not found

As of AndroidX (the repackaged Android Support Library), the path is androidx.core.content.FileProvider so the updated provider tag would be:

<provider
    android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
    android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:grantUriPermissions="true">
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
        android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />
</provider>

Android Support Libraries are now in the androidx.* package hierarchy.

android.* is now reserved to the built-in Android System Libraries.

Instead of

import android.support.v4.content.FileProvider;

Try importing

import androidx.core.content.FileProvider;

Using the following commands solved my issue:

npm install jetifier --save
npx jetify
npx cap sync

I replaced it with the newer version, which is : androidx.core.content.FileProvider

This worked for me.

add compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0' to build.gradle file in app module.
