I upgraded to NativeScript 8.3 from 8.2, and since that, I am getting this error every time when image-cache-it is in use:

  JS: ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: Cannot read property 'ɵcmp' of undefined

If I delete <ImageCacheIt .....></ImageCacheIt> from the template, this error doesn't appear and the app works as expected.

I am on Angular 12 because NS has routing issues with Angular 13/14. I can't install the latest version of your plugin because it requires Angular 14 :/

UPDATE:
I found a clue:

export 'ImageCacheItDirective' (imported as 'i1') was not found in '@triniwiz/nativescript-image-cache-it/angular' (possible exports: ImageCacheItModule, ɵa)

this doesn't appear when I use the latest version, but since it requires Angular 14 that breaks NS + Angular routing this plugin seems bugged with NS 8.3 + Angular 12

Reproduce the failure in a NativeScript 8.3 Android app using Angular 12 and @triniwiz/nativescript-image-cache-it, keeping the template element enabled. Start with the package's Angular integration and the reported missing ImageCacheItDirective export, then verify that the plugin works with this version combination without the ɵcmp error.
