[hussainanver52]

hello
I am trying to add this plugin for ionic framework (android) but when compiling i get different errors,
firstly i was getting multiple dex file error and i added multiDexEnabled true
now i am getting the following error

:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/annotation/AttrRes.class

i tried following ways to fix but i am not able to fix it

1. tried to exclude android support v4 for branch by adding dependencie

compile('io.branch.sdk.android:library:1+') {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat'
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
    }

1. I tried to change android support v4 with android suppoert v4:13
2. I added renderScriptTargetApi 23 to config
3. I tried configurations { all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations' }
4. I tried to refresh the cordova by removing and adding back also

@hussainanver52 , can you try doing this workaround?
Hopefully this will resolve the issue.
