I downgraded cordova-plugin-file from version 7 to 6 and it solved the problem!

npm install cordova-plugin-file@6

Capacitor uses cordova-android 7.0.0 by default, as I mentioned, you can change the version used by editing the variables.gradle file that your projects should already have, and change the cordovaAndroidVersion = '7.0.0' to cordovaAndroidVersion = '10.1.1'
