bug: cordova-plugin-ionic is blocking device ready event

Bug Report

I am migrating our app from cordova to capacitor. Generally we managed to limit the cordova plugins to 3:

    cordova-plugin-ionic (5.4.4)
    cordova-plugin-whitelist (1.3.4)
    phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner (8.1.0)

Using cordova-plugin-ionic (5.4.4) is messing up deviceready event and app cannot be started.

When inspecting the app in Google remote devices the following error is shown. Uncaught (in promise) String resource ID #0x0. Similar issue should have been resolved in the plugin repo https://github.com/ionic-team/cordova-plugin-ionic/issues/223.

Once the plugin is removed the app start functioning as normal.
