@keshavkhatri is there any log message? Try to run adb logcat PluginManager:V CordovaPlugin:V CordovaLog:V chromium:V *:S while you are running your uninstall function and see what errors are you getting.

@pwlin after doing some research on stackoverflow i found that we need to put permission access in AndroidManifest.xml to uninstall packages. But there was no error given from plugin for the same it was still returning success when the uninstall was not working you should fix this.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES" />

adding this in AndroidManifest.xml solved this issue for me.

thanks

Thank you I have added a note in README.md about using the proper permission.
