There is a config.xml setting you have to add, which rules out all UIWebView references at compile time:

<preference name="WKWebViewOnly" value="true" />

Please check the cordova blog for reference and full example:
https://cordova.apache.org/howto/2020/03/18/wkwebviewonly.html

As I have used latest version of [email protected]

This config.xml code is not working.

Anyway, I have fixed the issue by removing all the existing plugins. Re-added one by one.
