[nativescript-barcodescanner] [Android] blank page in release mode

I've a very strange problem:

1- created new test application with:

ns create --template @nativescript/template-drawer-navigation-ng

2- installed plugin:

npm install @nstudio/nativescript-barcodescanner

3 - modified home.component.ts

import { BarcodeScanner} from "@nstudio/nativescript-barcodescanner";

  CameraScan(): void {
    var barcodescanner = new BarcodeScanner;
  }

Compiling and installing in debug mode (tns run android --device XYZ) the home page is displayed.
Compiling and installing in release mode (tns run android --device XYZ --release --key-store....) the home page is displayed blank.

No error, no crash, no log error.
The page is simply blank.

Commenting out the line with BarcodeScanner reference

  CameraScan(): void {
    // var barcodescanner = new BarcodeScanner;
  }

the home page is display as expected.

package.js

{
  "name": "TestScannerApp",
  "main": "src/main.ts",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "~13.2.0",

    "@nativescript/webpack": "~5.0.6",
    "@ngtools/webpack": "~13.2.0",
    "typescript": "~4.5.5"
  }
}

Physical device is Android 8.0.0.

Any Idea how to solve?

Start with home.component.ts and package.js, then reproduce the issue using the listed debug and release commands on Android 8.0.0 while comparing the resulting behavior and available logs. Done means the release build displays the home page with the BarcodeScanner reference present.
