# Bug Report

## Problem
I have an issue with a specific third party plugin : https://github.com/vidinoti/cordova-plugin-PixLive

With a fresh empty cordova create app, no other plugin except whitelist, the BUILD is SUCCESSFUL but, NO apk is produced (debug or release)
without the plugin, BUILD is SUCCESSFUL also but it produces the expected apk

My request is not about the third party plugin, but it's about "Why there is NO ERROR and BUILD marked as Successful, but no apk produced "?
What could be done to investigate, or find what is wrong.

### What is expected to happen?

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 3s
42 actionable tasks: 42 executed
Built the following apk(s):
/myApp/platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

### What does actually happen?

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 3s
42 actionable tasks: 42 executed
Built the following apk(s):

#### The build is successful, there is absolutely no errors reported, but it doesn't produce any apk ???
