If it helps, I updated build.gradle of the plugin:

android {
	compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_20
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_20
    }
}

dependencies {
    // Load the google play core library
    //implementation 'com.google.android.play:core:1.10.3'
	implementation 'com.google.android.play:review:2.0.1'
	implementation 'com.google.android.play:app-update:2.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.volley:volley:1.2.1'
}

And updated:
plugins\cordova-plugin-native-app-update\src\android\CDVAppUpdate.java

import com.google.android.gms.appupdate.AppUpdateInfo;
import com.google.android.gms.appupdate.AppUpdateManager;
import com.google.android.gms.appupdate.AppUpdateManagerFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.install.model.AppUpdateType;
import com.google.android.gms.install.model.UpdateAvailability;
import com.google.android.gms.tasks.Task;

I updated only the files in directory plugins.
But, I have always the same message from Google Play.

And if I tried to update different files manually, I have other errors.

Please... a new version is needed.

That is compiling and runing with:

Modify gradle files like wrote before:

project\plugins\cordova-plugin-native-app-update\src\android\build.gradle
project\node_modules\cordova-plugin-native-app-update\src\android\build.gradle
project\platforms\android\cordova-plugin-native-app-update\app-build.gradle

And

project\node_modules\cordova-plugin-native-app-update\src\android\CDVAppUpdate.java
project\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\com\apache\cordova\appupdate\CDVAppUpdate.java
project\plugins\cordova-plugin-native-app-update\src\android\CDVAppUpdate.java

With:

/* Class imports for In-App Updates */
import com.android.volley.Request;
import com.android.volley.toolbox.JsonObjectRequest;
import com.android.volley.toolbox.Volley;
import com.google.android.play.core.appupdate.AppUpdateInfo;
import com.google.android.play.core.appupdate.AppUpdateManager;
import com.google.android.play.core.appupdate.AppUpdateManagerFactory;
import com.google.android.play.core.install.model.AppUpdateType;
import com.google.android.play.core.install.model.UpdateAvailability;
import com.google.android.gms.tasks.Task;
