plugins Build failure for latest @nativescript/background-http v6.0.1

When updating to the latest version of background-http I am receiving the following build error:

I can work around this by forcing the uploadServiceVersion to 4.7.0 in before-plugins.gradle:

uploadServiceVersion = "4.7.0"

I am using latest NativeScript v8.6.5 on an Angular project.

To trigger the error, simple use the service in a project created by the latest version of NativeScript.

Thanks!
