Hi Guys,

I trust you are well. I ran into an error whilst attempting to generate a mobile application that uses the Video Editor_Plugin. I wanted to use it for video compression on the client side.

Error generating {Application}(Android): There was an issue generating the app. Gradle now requires you to declare dependencies using "implementation" or "api" instead of "compile". The dependency being incorrectly declared is "com.github.ergovia-mobile:android-transcoder:v0.1.10R_ergovia". Check your plugin configurations and try again. 

According to some results I found, the plugin android-transcoder:v0.1.10R_ergovia is being declared inside the cordova-plugin-video-editor with the old compile syntax, which newer Gradle versions (7+) no longer support.

Gradle (Android's build system) deprecated the compile configuration in favor of:

• implementation - for dependencies used internally by the module
• api - for dependencies exposed to other modules

So when you generate an Android package with newer MABS (Mobile Apps Build Service) versions (MABS 8+), OutSystems builds with Gradle 7+, and any plugin still using compile will break the build.

How did you go about making the necessary updates and did it resolve the issue?
