I am using Ionic 3. Most of the native plugins do not work, I get ‘plugin not installed’ when i run on a test device. If i wrap it in ‘platform.ready’, the platform is never ready. For example, FCM, unique-device-id, one-signal, and just about every other native plugin I have tried. Looks like I will have to give up on Ionic and go to React-Native. Has anybody gotten this to work?
Hey…
Maybe you have to share more infos, before someone can help you.
if you say mostly relative things like:
Most of the native plugins do not work
then maybe you have a general environment problem.
maybe you can provide some more information like:
$ ionic info
The Ionic CLI provides you a lot of commands to manage your plugIns and checking the health of your ionic-project. Did you try it?

Oliver

Please update first your environment and then try to remove your plugIns complete with Ionic CLI and install it again
is this issue resolved ? I have been facing the same issue and platform is never ready on android device.
After creating empty app i just added native plugin for contacts. I follow the same steps as mentioned on ionic form.
On DevApp i saw below Logs.
I reinstalled the all plugins, remove/add platform but still it is not working.
I am using MI mobile for testing which is on Angular version 6.0.1.
i think there is some issue with configuration but i am not sure what!!
Can you please help me? I have been trying from last 3 days. 
Logs
deviceready has not fired after 5 seconds.
Channel not fired: onDOMContentLoaded
Angular is running in the development mode. Call enableProdMode() to enable the production mode.
Ionic Native: deviceready did not fire within 5000ms. This can happen when plugins are in an inconsistent state. Try removing plugins from plugins/ and reinstalling them.

I see this error while running on Simulator like DevApp. but when i deploy my app on Mobile (android) it is working fine. Although plugin is taking time(1-2 min) to come up but it is working.
I am testing Native cordova contacts plugin.
command which i use ; ionic cordova run android --prod
