App Keeps Crashing in Android after installing this Plugin

When I remove the plugin, my Android App works. When I install this plugin, the App does not even launch. It says App has stopped. Restart App.

I tried the following:

Tried installed the plugin both using cordova plugin add cordova-hot-code-push-plugin and cordova plugin add https://github.com/nordnet/cordova-hot-code-push.git.

I have this set-up in my config.xml

<chcp>
    <config-file url="https://www.example.com/appstore/www/chcp.json" />
    <native-interface version="2.0.0.1" />
</chcp>

I have this in chcp.json:

{
"name": "Example",
"ios_identifier": "id123412345",
"android_identifier": "com.app.mobileapp",
"update": "start",
"content_url": "https://www.example.com/appstore/www",
"release": "2018.05.17-20.24.50"
}

The appstore/www directory exists in my server.

I have followed the Wiki and the issues here and I feel my set-up seems fine. I dont use any javascript for this plugin and it should work as default. But when I run the command ionic cordova run android, when the App is launched, it doesnt even open. It crashes straight away.

I have Android 7 and this is my ionic set-up:

cli packages: (/usr/local/lib/node_modules)

    @ionic/cli-utils  : 1.19.2
    ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.20.0

global packages:

local packages:

    Cordova Platforms : android 7.0.0 ios 4.5.4

    npm        : 5.7.1 
    OS         : macOS High Sierra
    Xcode      : Xcode 9.2 Build version 9C40b 

Environment Variables:

    ANDROID_HOME : not set

When I uninstall this plugin, it works. When I install this plugin, it crashes. These are the plugins I have in my set-up:
