Cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine causes duplicated symbols in iOS build

Hello! Since UIWebView is being deprecated and that cordova ios 6 is still under night builds, I am trying to completely move an ionic cordova app to use WKWebView.

I did follow this tutorial:
https://cordova.apache.org/howto/2020/03/18/wkwebviewonly.html

I am using cordova ios 5.1.1

Here is the list of the cordova plugins I currently have installed in the project:

ionic-plugin-keyboard 2.2.1 "Keyboard"
phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner 7.1.2 "BarcodeScanner"
phonegap-plugin-push 2.2.3 "PushPlugin"

I also did update the config.xml file to use only WKWebView:

        <!-- WKWebView stuff -->
        <preference name="WKWebViewOnly" value="true" />
        <feature name="CDVWKWebViewEngine">
            <param name="ios-package" value="CDVWKWebViewEngine" />
        </feature>
        <preference name="CordovaWebViewEngine" value="CDVWKWebViewEngine" />

I then entered the following commands:

ionic build;
ionic cordova platform add ios;
ionic cordova prepare;
ionic cordova build ios;

I then get the following:

** ARCHIVE FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
	Ld /Users/vittoriopassuello-dussault/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/AccuV-afsbvdwyobxxpmfpiryucawybsqq/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/AccuV/InstallationBuildProductsLocation/Applications/AccuV.app/AccuV normal arm64
(1 failure)
xcodebuild: Command failed with exit code 65

When I open the project in XCode, and try to build, I get this error:

14 duplicate symbols for architecture arm64

I figured out that this plugin could also use libraries used by the cordova-plugin-ionic-webview hence this issue.

I was wondering if anyone have been able to actually get rid of UIWebView in favour of WKWebView. There is no sign of a cordova ios 6 release date and we are kind of stressing out.

Thank you for your support!

UPDATE:

I installed the following plugin

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-wkwebview-file-xhr

And now I am getting this error

Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_CDVWKProcessPoolFactory", referenced from:
      objc-class-ref in CDVWKInAppBrowser.o
