Check https://capacitorjs.com/docs/android/troubleshooting#plugin-not-implemented, it contains a few things that can cause the issue.
Also try updating all the capacitor packages to the latest ones and use the same version on all of them.

I was able to resolve the issue by removing the compiled frontend files and plugins and running npx cap sync android again:

rm -rf android/app/src/main/assets/*
rm -rf android/capacitor-cordova-android-plugins
npx cap sync android

If this is not enough, try running the Clean project action in Android Studio

I resolved this issue by disabling minify.
android/app/build.gradle

 buildTypes {
        release {
            ...
            minifyEnabled false
            ...
        }
    }

version:
"@capacitor/core": "^3.5.0"
"@capacitor/storage": "^1.2.5"

@capacitor/storage was working perfectly fine but after updating it to @capacitor/preferences its throwing "Storage" plugin is not implemented on android
