Cordova-plugin-firebasex: Plugin is not compatible with Ionic Capacitor

[REPTILEHAUS]

Ive updated an Ionic app to use Capacitor. Everytime I try to run the project in android studio I get the error:
ERROR: Cause: java.lang.NullPointerException

By process of elimination I have found that when firebasex is installed the error occurs and when removed its gone.

Bug report also logged on Capacitor repo here https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/2121

Bug Report

I have added capacitor to an existing Ionic project. iOS seems to work fine but when running:
ionic build
npx cap add android
npx cap copy android
npx cap open android

The project opens in Android Studio - but there is no options available to either build or clean the project and when it first opens, it attempts to build which results in this error message

This is a Cordova plugin intended for use within a Cordova app environment.
There are currently no plans to add support for Capacitor, which uses its own adapter mechanism to allow Cordova plugins to run in a Capacitor environment.
Any effort required to make this plugin work with Capacitor would need to be made at the Capacitor adapter end.

Sure, I thought I would report anyway as there is a chance this plugin may now be added to the incompatible plugins list for capacitor as is the other firebase plugin. For what its worth this plugin would be complimentary to the capacitor way of doing things i.e managing cocoapods support etc

When i tried to sync with ios after added firebasex plugin, it took very long time. But then it worked without problem. I use latest versions of capacitor and plugin.

Hi @Unkn0wn0x, I read your comment in Stackoverflow and tried it, but when applying it I get the same error someone is answering to your comment there related to the resources for color and accent. Did you face it too? How did you solve it? Thanks!
