Cordova 10+ includes the Whitelist class and no external plugin is required. In addition to removing it you also need to update the file transfer plugin.

So, you need to do two things:

1. Update the file transfer plugin. Even though this plugin is no longer recommended, the developer has thankfully updated the plugin to support the new Whitelist class, which is now included by default in Cordova. You will have to do this by installing directly from the github repo:

   cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer.git

2. Remove the whitelist plugin

   cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-whitelist
