Cordova GLOBAL is not defined when running on Android

Question

I have setup a Cordova app with react following this tutorial. When I try to run it on a physical android device using cordova run android -- --livereload The app is not compiled and not sent to the device, the only output I get is:

cordova run android -- --livereload
Successfully built!
GLOBAL is not defined

This is the verbose output of the command:

GLOBAL is not defined
ReferenceError: GLOBAL is not defined

What is GLOBAL and how can I fix this error in order to get my app to compile and live reload?

Add this to your index.html file

 <script>const global = globalThis;</script>
