Compatibility with Capacitor

[pufanalexandru]

Hello,

I'm trying to use this plugin with Ionic 5 and Capacitor 2.0.2
I installed the plugin like this: npm i cordova-plugin-datecs-printer and then I ran npx cap sync. I used your sample service to test the plugin (https://github.com/giorgiofellipe/cordova-plugin-datecs-printer/wiki/Service-DatecsPrinter--for-ionic-4), but no matter which method I try, I get no response (no error, no messages, nothing). Is the plugin compatible with Capacitor, is there something else I'm missing?

Ok, meanwhile I found out that you have to copy the strings from plugin.xml to strings.xml of your app and it will work afterwards
