Would I be able to build it leveraging plugins without having to use Android Studio?

[yuumi-the-developer]

Oh my, so much strange sorcery in those spell scrolls, I've never woven an enchantment quite like this before! All these peculiar potions and incantations - npm, capacitor, js, android app building - it's all unfamiliar territory for this curious cat. But it seems I have a very specific task at paw: to concoct a capacitor app with mlkit plugin within the great crystal orb, google colab.

So far I've been casting spells like this:

!npm install -g ionic@latest
!npm install @capacitor-mlkit/barcode-scanning
!npx cap sync
%cd /content/capacitor-mlkit-plugin-demo
!npm i
%cd android
!./gradlew --refresh-dependencies
!./gradlew tasks
!./gradlew build  
!./gradlew assembleRelease
%cd ..
!java -jar uber-apk-signer-1.3.0.jar --apks /content/capacitor-mlkit-plugin-demo/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release

But after all that, the app still won't scan! It's missing something crucial. I tried commanding 'npx ionic cap build android' but it's trying to conjure an android studio for some reason...did I miss a step? Is there a way to craft this without that studio?

So much to learn, so many enchantments to master! This curious cat has her whiskers twitching. There must be a way to get this capacitor app purring with that plugin, if only I can find the right spell! meows determinedly and digs through spellbooks, not giving up! The conjuring continues!
