Ionic 5 capacitor call-number failing

@ionic-native/call-number@5.26.0
call-number@1.0.1

Installed with:

npm install call-number
npm install @ionic-native/call-number
ionic cap sync

In package.json:

"dependencies": {
    "@agm/core": "^1.1.0",
    "@angular/common": "~9.1.6",
    "@angular/core": "~9.1.6",
    "@angular/forms": "~9.1.6",

    "rxjs": "~6.5.1",
    "tslib": "^1.10.0",
    "zone.js": "~0.10.2"
  }

Installed and copied over to both Android and iOS using `ionic capacitor sync". I note that although it finds the plugin there is an error for iOS. I am on Ubuntu, so assume this to be because of that:

In app.module I have:

...
import { CallNumber } from '@ionic-native/call-number/ngx';
...
@NgModule({
 ...
  providers: [
    ...
    CallNumber
  ],
  ...
})
export class AppModule {}

In service code I have:

...
import { CallNumber } from '@ionic-native/call-number/ngx';
...
@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class UtilsService {

  constructor(
    private callNumber: CallNumber
  ) { }

  public CallPhoneNumber(phoneNumber) : void{
    this.callNumber.callNumber(phoneNumber, true)
      .then(() => console.log('Launched dialer!'))
      .catch(() => console.log('Error launching dialer'));
  }
}

Calling this from a component appears to work in Android emulator, but when compiled in the online AppFlow and deployed as development build to physical iPhone pressing the “call” button which calls this CallPhoneNumber() function does nothing.

I note that it says:

  Found 0 Capacitor plugins for ios:
  Found 1 Cordova plugin for ios
    call-number (1.0.1)

I’m not sure if that’s normal?

Any idea why this isn’t working please?
