Current Behavior

Currently my Capacitor application will compile and work as normal. However, when trying to add the @capacitor/push-notifications plugin the following error appears

E/Capacitor: Error loading plugins.
    com.getcapacitor.PluginLoadException: Could not find class by class path: com.capacitorjs.plugins.pushnotifications.PushNotificationsPlugin

Removing the plugin and running npx cap sync results in a successful build.

Expected Behavior

npm installing @capacitor/push-notifications and running npx cap sync should result in a successful android build and the plugin should function like other capacitor plugins in this instance.

Other Technical Details

npm --version output: 6.14.12

node --version output: v12.22.1

pod --version output (iOS issues only): N/A

Additional Context

Following this thread: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/ionic-capacitor-pushnotifications-plugin-is-not-implemented-on-android/214972/4 I was able to resolve the push notification build issue, however, this forces us to manually add / manage all plugins in the MainActivity by implementing the suggested solution. For future maintenance of the project I would like to avoid this if possible.

Turns out this was an error in our custom build pipeline process and not in the plugin itself. Closing issue.
