I am trying to migrate an existing Ionic v8 app from Angular 16 to Angular 17. After moving all components to be standalone, I am stuck with awesome-cordova-plugins.

In the old Angular 16 version I used NgModules in app.modules.ts and the awesome-cordova-plugins were specified in the providers array:

```auto
@NgModule({
  ...
  providers: [
    FirebaseX,
    Calendar,
    SocialSharing,
    BarcodeScanner,
    ...
  ],
  exports: [
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

```

In the new Angular 17 version I use ApplicationConfig in main.ts:

```auto
providers: [
  ...
  importProvidersFrom([
    FirebaseX,
    Calendar,
    SocialSharing,
    BarcodeScanner,
    ...
  ]),
  ...
]

```

This code compiles but when start my app with `ionic serve` I get this error message:

```auto
main.ts:17 ERROR NullInjectorError: R3InjectorError(Standalone[AppComponent])[FirebaseX -> FirebaseX -> FirebaseX]: 
  NullInjectorError: No provider for FirebaseX!

```

Is that the correct way to setup awesome-cordova-plugins with ApplicationConfig? Why does the error occur?

Found the soultion by myself with the help of this [post](https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/how-to-provide-ionic-services-such-as-toast-alertcontroller-etc-into-my-own-standalone-services/248846).

The awesome-cordova-plugins (e.g. FirebaseX) must not be specified inside `importProvidersFrom`, but have to be inserted directly under providers:

```auto
providers: [
  ...
  provideIonicAngular(),
  FirebaseX,
  Calendar,
  SocialSharing,
  BarcodeScanner,
  ...
]

```
