Plugin called before platform.ready() on --prod

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hello,
I’m developing an app that uses NativeStorage plugin. I’ve created a provider that has some methods that use this plugin and other classes uses this provider.
But when i tried to create the app with --prod this plugin is called before platform.ready(), resulting the message on the console:

Native: tried calling NativeStorage.getItem, but the NativeStorage plugin is not installed.
Install the NativeStorage plugin: ‘ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-nativestorage’

How can i ensure that the provider is only called after platform.ready()?
I’m testing on one physical and one virtual android device and both of them show the same behaviour
Thanks

Use platform.ready() as it is used in app.component.ts and wrap your plugin calls. Then they will only be executed after the platform is ready.

PS: Do you really need NativeStorage? Ionic Storage provides very similar functionality and also works in ionic serve (and doesn’t need additional native code)
