first install the barcodescanner plugin, then install my custom plugin

Android 8.1

No devices, just install plugin conflict

Cordova CLI version and cordova platform version

cordova --version 8.0.0
cordova platforms android 7.1.0

Plugin version

cordova plugin version | grep phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner

8.0.1

Sample Code that illustrates the problem

i have no idea

Failed to install 'com-flux-location': Error: There was a conflict trying to modify attributes with <edit-config> in plugin com-flux-location. The conflicting plugin, undefined, already modified the same attributes. The conflict must be resolved before com-flux-location can be added. You may use --force to add the plugin and overwrite the conflicting attributes.

@videmort The hook example like this:

I have been able to fix this issue, but I fixed this issue by Cordova Hook mechanism.

I removed the edit-config from my custom plugin's plugin.xml. Then I used the Cordova Hook mechanism to satisfy my demand that added MyApp.java to my Cordova Project and configured the AndroidManifest.xml of Cordova Project's android platform

If you want to fix this issue, you also could see Cordova Hook Guide first.
