Error message on Android console : "plugin is not implemented on android"

[dchhangpro]

Hi,

I try to add @capacitor/geolocation package in my Quasar Project to use in Android app.
I make a mini app to test it. Just a screen where call Geolocation.getCurrentPosition() to display result.
When I run it on Android emulator, I have this error message in console log : Error: "Geolocation" plugin is not implemented on android.
It works good on web version.
It works also on simple Vue.js + Capacitor project.

Steps to reproduce :

1. init a Quasar project with npm init quasar@latest
2. add firebase dependency : npm install @capacitor/geolocation
3. add capacitor quasar mode : quasar mode add capacitor
4. Make the mini app to display current position
5. start dev server with command : quasar dev -m capacitor -T android
6. Look at the Logcat, and have the error : Error: "Geolocation" plugin is not implemented on android

When I use npx cap sync in src-capacitor folder, I don't see @capacitor/geolocation package.
In src-capacitor/android/capacitor.settings.gradle, there is no mention of @capacitor/geolocation

It is like npx cap sync don't recognize this package to add in capacitor project.

I see the troubleshooting guide
All proposal don't work :

• Make sure that the plugin is installed and appears in the package.json. => "@capacitor/geolocation": "^7.1.1",
• Sync the native project by running npx cap sync android => I do it many many time
• Sync the native project with Gradle files by using the File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files button in Android Studio => I try it but there is no effect
• Make sure you are using Node.js version 22 or higher => Yes I use Node v22.14.0

My Java version was on JDK 17 and I update it on JDK 21 => always the same error.

Someone can help me please...

You have to install Capacitor packages inside src-capacitor, not the root project.

Quasar’s Capacitor mode sometimes misses plugin syncs due to:

Incorrect paths in Gradle files.

Cached builds or misconfigured dependencies.
