npx cap copy
android/app/src/main/assets/public/native-bridge.js
If you npm install a Cordova/Capacitor plugin after npx cap add android then make sure you run npx cap update before running from Android Studio again.
If you make html, js, ts, css changes, run ionic build again and also run npx cap copy.
Or when in doubt, run npx cap sync as it does update+copy.
