Capacitor v4 support?

[ptmkenny]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Capacitor v4 has been released and it would be great for this plugin to support v4.

There is already a pull request for adding v4 support.

I know this plugin is in maintenance mode as stated in the README on the project page, and that a new official HTTP plugin will be added by the Ionic team.

So, I would appreciate a statement by the maintainers as to whether this plugin will be updated to v4, or the recommendation is to just wait for official HTTP support to be added in Capacitor 4.x.

Hello!

We have no plans to update this plugin to support Capacitor v4, rather our efforts have been focused on building out the new official HTTP plugin. While I don't have any official timeline I can share, it is well underway!

We use this plugin using capacitor v4 successfully. We had to patch the min iOS version however. Otherwise it works great!

Heres the patchfile:

I'm not sure if the official Http plugin will work with 4.0, or if will just be built into the Capacitor runtime itself. There were a few ideas bounced back and forth when I was still on the team. I could release another version based on #275 if the official plugin won't support 4.0, but rather 4.1+. Any insights on this @dallastjames?

The official HTTP plugin was added in Capacitor 4.3, and there is a now outdated release for this plugin, so I'm closing this issue.
