I'm running into this as well with the cordova qrscanner

  "dependencies": {
    "@capacitor/android": "^3.4.1",
    "@capacitor/cli": "^3.4.1",
    "@capacitor/core": "^3.4.1",
    "cordova-plugin-qrscanner": "^3.0.1",
    ...

The problem is that this library is no longer supported. It should be fixed if you include the appropriate AndroidX library like here:

// import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
import androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat; // <- AndroidX library
