Description
**Describe the bug**
I'm developing a plugin in the same package as my app to make it easy to iterate.
I'm able to get it into the window by adding it in electron-plugins.js
But even though I've added an electron platform to the registerPlugin call, whenever I try to use it I get a not implemented error.
I may be missing another place I have to hook it up?
When I call the echo function (only implemented function) on the CapacitorCustomPlugin.plugins.name object it seems to work.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Create a plugin in a project and manually add it in electron-plugins.js
**Expected behavior**
Be able to use it.
**Screenshots**
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
**Desktop (please complete the following information):**
- OS: Mac
- Browser Chrome I suspect
- Version ?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with electron-plugins.js and the registerPlugin call described in the report. Trace how the plugin is exposed through CapacitorCustomPlugin.plugins.name and compare that path with the platform-specific implementation that produces the not implemented error. Done means the plugin's echo function works when the plugin is in the same package as the app.
