[Bug]: No matching export for import "default" (Ionic / Angular)

[hoermillerj]

What happened?

After updating from v.5.2.15 to v.5.2.18 the import of OneSignal import OneSignal from 'onesignal-cordova-plugin'; does not work anymore. When I try to build my application I am faced with the following error message:

X [ERROR] No matching export in "node_modules/onesignal-cordova-plugin/dist/index.js" for import "default"

It seems to me that the OneSignal plugin exports a default export (exports.default=h) but uses CommonJS format, and my Angular project is trying to import it as an ES module with a default import.

When I roll back to version 5.2.15 everything works fine.

Steps to reproduce?

1. Setup new Angular project
2. Install OneSignal (npm i onesignal-cordova-plugin)
3. Import OneSignal as described in the documentation (import OneSignal from 'onesignal-cordova-plugin';)
4. Build the project

What did you expect to happen?

I expect the project to build without any issues.

OneSignal Cordova SDK version

5.2.18
