Capacitor v3: <Plugin> is not implemented on android

[antonio-cabezas]

I am using Capacitor v3 with a React PWA and I have the following problem:

When I build my app for Android it works fine but if the app reaches the OnDestroy lifecycle event and I execute it again I can see this lines printed on Logcat:

Capacitor: Unable to read file at path public/plugins

Capacitor/Console: File: https://example.com/static/js/8.cac4fa54.chunk.js - Line 2 - Msg: Uncaught (in promise) Error: "Storage" plugin is not implemented on android

Last line is duplicated for all Capacitor official plugins that I am using.

I have the following dependencies:

"@capacitor-community/facebook-login": "3.1.1",
"@capacitor/android": "3.1.2",
"@capacitor/app": "^1.0.2",
"@capacitor/core": "^3.1.2",
"@capacitor/device": "^1.0.2",
"@capacitor/geolocation": "^1.0.2",
"@capacitor/ios": "3.1.2",
"@capacitor/network": "^1.0.2",
"@capacitor/push-notifications": "^1.0.3",
"@capacitor/status-bar": "^1.0.2",
"@capacitor/storage": "^1.0.3",
"@codetrix-studio/capacitor-google-auth": "3.0.2",

And also as dev dependency:

"@capacitor/cli": "^3.1.2",

My MainActivity (here I registered community plugins):

import android.os.Bundle;

import com.codetrixstudio.capacitor.GoogleAuth.GoogleAuth;
import com.getcapacitor.BridgeActivity;
import com.getcapacitor.community.facebooklogin.FacebookLogin;

public class MainActivity extends BridgeActivity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        registerPlugin(GoogleAuth.class);
        registerPlugin(FacebookLogin.class);
    }
}

The capacitor config is the following:

{
  "appId": "com.example.frontend",
  "appName": "Example",
  "bundledWebRuntime": false,
  "webDir": "build",
  "npmClient": "yarn",
  "plugins": {
    "GoogleAuth": {
      "scopes": ["profile", "email"],
      "serverClientId": "example-server-id.apps.googleusercontent.com",
      "forceCodeForRefreshToken": true
    }
  },
  "server": {
    "allowNavigation": ["example.com", "*.example.com"],
    "hostname": "example.com",
    "androidScheme": "https"
  },
  "cordova": {}
}

Any suggestions are appreciated.

It happens only if I register the service worker.

Since it's not necessary to have the service worker registered on the native app, I am registering it depending on the device platform.

You can do this to make service workers work on android SDK 24+ devices, but yeah, it’s better if you don’t put them there since the app files are already bundled with the app.

Also I find out that if you are in live reload mode, cap3 plugins will no wotk even you synced it into the andorid project.
