Current Behavior

Hi, there’s errors from Sentry for Android. the plugin is working fine for both iOS and Android, just that there’s errors that reported on Sentry. Could not simulate the error, only received the error from Sentry. Below is the sentry log, capacitor config and Main Activity. The Main Activity is just extend the BridgeActivity. Thank you.

I was able to resolve the issue by removing the compiled frontend files and plugins and running npx cap sync android again:

rm -rf android/app/src/main/assets/*
rm -rf android/capacitor-cordova-android-plugins
npx cap sync android

If this is not enough, try running the Clean project action in Android Studio
