any ideas? it conflicts with dom which is enabled by default in the tsconfig.json and is required for Angular

[jitterbox]

what's the best solution here?
module augmentation? overrides? special pathing in tsconfig.json?

[luizleos]

I am facing the same error, is there solution to fix that?

[elcreator]

only downgrade

package.json

    "cordova-plugin-file": "^6.0.2",

with changes in
tsconfig.json

  "compilerOptions": {
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "target": "ES2022",
    "useDefineForClassFields": false
  }

works for me.
