Describe the bug

I am the maintainer of the InAppBrowser for NativeScript plugin, and I'm trying to create an instance of a Native class from Android extending the androidx.browser.customtabs.CustomTabsServiceConnection class, but I'm getting this error:

Unable to apply changes on device: 28a99e1c02047ece. Error is: The application org.nativescript.demo does not appear to be running on 28a99e1c02047ece or is not built with debugging enabled. Try starting the application manually..

To Reproduce

• git clone https://github.com/proyecto26/nativescript-inappbrowser.git
• git fetch
• git checkout 27fe8f3
• cd src
• npm i
• npm run demo.android

Expected behavior
Be able to run the demo project and create an instance of a custom Android Native Class here.

Sample project

Please use this repository/commit hash: https://github.com/proyecto26/nativescript-inappbrowser/tree/27fe8f34d68bf04d74817155663fede52267dfef

Additional context

I'm following this other example: https://github.com/sitefinitysteve/nativescript-auth0/blob/master/src/android/provider/customTabsController.ts#L20
I'm not sure if this error is happening since NativeScript 8 with Android 25.
Still supporting Android Support, thanks for your help! <3
