Are you trying to run this through the browser? Plugins only work when running on a device.

i’m running this on device too, none of them are working

I don’t know if this will help your situation but I had a plug-in problem the other day which would only fix itself if I used the cordova plugin rather than the ionic plugin command. See here.

Doesn’t work for me… Trying to add toasts to my existing project.
Trying to test on my Nexus 5 device using ionic run android, but I could see that window.plugins is undefined :frowning:
Same plugin works fine if installed in fresh typescript project. I Just cant make it work on my existing ES6 project. Trying to remove using ionic plugin remove cordova-plugin-x-toast and then reinstall by cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-x-toast but no luck…
Maybe anyone knows the way to debug this?
BTW Using another plugin for scanning barcodes and it works just fine…

this.platform.ready().then(() => {
            //console.log(window.plugins);
           if (!!cordova) console.log('DEBUG || ' + JSON.stringify(cordova.plugins));
           if (!!window.plugins)  console.log('DEBUG || ' + JSON.stringify(window.plugins));
            window.plugins.toast.show(message, "short", position);
        });

Same here, I do not understand, why window[‘plugins’].OrtcPushPlugin as undefined.
