Custome Capacitor plugins doesn't work on android .apk build

I built a couple of plugins with capacitor to use native android features in my project (Ionic v6). They work fine when I test it with the command ionic cap run android -l --external, but when I build an apk and install it they don’t work.

I tried adding the plugin class in the onCreate, as follows, but doesn’t work.
package cl.dcanje.pos;

import android.os.Bundle;

import com.getcapacitor.BridgeActivity;
import com.dcanje.plugins.nativeclick.NativeClickPlugin;

public class MainActivity extends BridgeActivity {
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    registerPlugin(NativeClickPlugin.class);
  }
}

Here you can see the output when I call the function, using the live reload

and when I do it from the apk.
