Capacitor Camera plugin returns “Unimplemented” on Android device even though plugin is...

I have an Angular + Capacitor 7 app.

Camera plugin works in the browser, but on a real Android device I always get:

UNIMPLEMENTED

• 
  @capacitor/camera 7.0.2
  
  
• 
  Angular 17
  
  
• 
  Android 13 physical device
  
  
• 
  Project is NOT a TWA — it is a full native Android app with plugins
  
  
• 
  App ID: com.bytephase.app.twa (just a name, not a TWA)
  

Behavior

• 
  Capacitor.isNativePlatform() returns true
  
  
• 
  Other plugins work:
  
  
• 
  Geolocation → OK
  
  
• 
  Background Geolocation → OK
  

code:

async takePicture() {
alert(`${Capacitor.getPlatform()} || ${Capacitor.isNativePlatform()}`)
try {
const permission = await Camera.requestPermissions({
permissions: ['camera', 'photos']
});
alert(JSON.stringify(permission));
} catch (err) {
alert("exception in getting permission");
alert(JSON.stringify(err));
}

try {
const image = await Camera.getPhoto({
quality: 90,
allowEditing: false,
resultType: CameraResultType.Uri,
saveToGallery: false,
});
const imageURL = image.webPath;
alert(imageURL);
} catch(err) {
alert("Exception in get photo");
alert(JSON.stringify(err));
}
}


Camera plugin alone fails
