Can't get the basic echo example to work properly

Hi there,

I am trying to create my own plugin following the documentation.

I launch the below code in a iOS simulator:

  MyPlugin.echo({value: 'test'}).then(response => {
    Modals.confirm({
      title: 'Title',
      message: response.value
    })
  })

This shows a Modal with test as a message as anticipated.

Now I change slightly the echo implementation in Xcode to be hardcoded:

    @objc func echo(_ call: CAPPluginCall) {
        call.resolve([
            "value": "hardcoded"
        ])
    }

But this still shows the test message in the modal :(
It looks like I am never actually calling the native code but rather always the web implementation. I don't understand as Capacitor.isNative returns true and I followed the step by step creation of a plugin without any customisation. Any advises?

Make sure to import the plugin with:

import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
const { MyPlugin } = Plugins;

If you import MyPlugin directly, it will always use the web implementation. (This will be improved in capacitor v3 I think.)

@pwespi I spent so much time on this, I can't thank you enough! This is now working!!
