The following Cordova plugins for push notifications can not be used in the store version and the custom build debugger. You can use these plugins only in a debug build or a release build.

- phonegap-plugin-push
- onesignal-cordova-plugin
- cordova-plugin-firebase
If the Cordova version of your project is lower than 5.2, it might not work properly with the Monaca Debugger 5.X.X. There are two ways to fix this issue:
- use a custom Monaca Debugger.
In the Monaca Debugger, core and third-party Cordova plugins are automatically included.
Monaca includes the core cordova plugins such as battery status, camera, contacts and device. For a complete list of the core Cordova plugins, please refer to Core Cordova Plugins.
Monaca also includes some third-party Cordova plugins such as statusbar, date picker and barcode scanner. For a complete list of currently included third-party Cordova plugins, please refer to Third-party Cordova Plugins.
While developing your project, you may need to add other third-party or custom Cordova plugins to your project. The standard Monaca Debugger (Store Version) doesn't have these newly added plugins. For this reason, your project might not run properly in the debugger. Therefore, you need to use a custom Monaca Debugger. Custom Monaca Debugger is a debugger that is built from a Monaca project in the Monaca Cloud IDE.
Monaca Debugger for Android supports USB debugging functions with Google Chrome browser:
- console debugging: using a console to diplay message
- DOM inspection: viewing and modifying the DOM structure with liveupdates
- JavaScript debugging: profiling JavaScript performance, settingbreakpoints and execution control
Network install is a feature provided by the Monaca Debugger for Android allowing you to install the built app (debug build only) using the debugger. For more information, please refer to how to use Network Install feature.
- 1.From the Monaca Cloud IDE menu, go to Build → Build App for Android.
- 2.Select
Custom Debugger Buildand click Start Build.
3. It may take some time until the build is completed. The following screen will open after the build is successfully completed. Then, you can use the QR code to install the debugger on your device or download the built file to your PC.
