This issue is related to androidx.appcompat:appcompat 1.4.0-beta01 released on September 29, 2021.

As plugin.xml defines ANDROIDX_VERSION as major version 1 (1.+), 1.4.0-beta01 was used instead of 1.3.0. Unfortunately you cannot simply use cordova plugin add cordova.plugins.diagnostic --variable ANDROIDX_VERSION=1.3.+ to overwrite the value, as the same version would be used for androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4 which exists as version 1.0.0 only.

I successfully used cordova plugin add cordova.plugins.diagnostic --variable ANDROIDX_VERSION="[1.0, 1.4[" to get my builds fixed.

ucsbricks · 2021-09-30T13:08:08Z

I created a PR to fix plugin.xml #441

I think PR #441 would also solve the problem for Capacitor. We cannot use install variables in Capacitor, so for us also 1.4.0-beta01 is installed, which breaks, because compileSdk is currently 30, but the plugin has a minium of 31 set.

dpa99c · 2021-10-01T10:09:23Z

The fix for this has been published to npm in v6.0.4
Note you may need to update the value for the ANDROIDX_VERSION plugin variable in your project's package.json and plugins/fetch.json to align with the new default set in this plugin's plugin.xml

Harsh8796 · 2021-10-02T11:14:53Z

Try to install again cordova.plugins.diagnostic. using
if you are capacitor user
npm install cordova.plugins.diagnostic
npm install @ionic-native/diagnostic
ionic cap sync
and if you are cordova user
ionic cordova plugin add cordova.plugins.diagnostic
npm install @ionic-native/diagnostic

<preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="31" />
