[17:33:56]  console.warn: Native: tried calling UserAgent.set, but the UserAgent plugin is not installed. 
[17:33:56]  console.warn: Install the UserAgent plugin: 'ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-useragent' 
[17:33:56]  console.error: plugin_not_installed 

Installed ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-useragent. I am running userAgent.set after platform ready, tried to reinstall everything and install it back. Any suggestions?

package.json
"im.ltdev.cordova.UserAgent": "https://github.com/LouisT/cordova-useragent"

config.xml
<plugin name="im.ltdev.cordova.UserAgent" spec="https://github.com/LouisT/cordova-useragent" />

I dont know how long I spent on this problem, but i finally figured it out.
The pluginRef in the ionic-native is set wrong.

The cordova plugin has the "clobbers target" set to "UserAgent", however the ionic-native plugin's node_modules/@ionic-native/user-agent/index.js has the pluginRef set to "plugins.useragent". They should match.

Not sure where the difference/discrepancy happened but it did, and the fix is to change the node_modules/@ionic-native/user-agent/index.js of the ionic-native user-agent plugin's pluginRef to "UserAgent". (dont forget to remove, re-add the ios/android platform for the change to get picked up)
Alternatively change the plugin's clobbers target to plugins.useragent, i found the former easier.

I dont have the time/knowledge to submit a patch to Ionic's repo, but thats the fix you can do locally.

I'm facing a similar issue:

Discovered plugin "im.ltdev.cordova.UserAgent" in config.xml. Adding it to the project
Failed to restore plugin "im.ltdev.cordova.UserAgent" from config.xml. 

I tried following the instructions from @codewise-nicolas but the pluginref was already set to useragent:

From the screenshot it looks like somewhere in your files it is still
referring to the wrong plugin.

Notice its trying to grab im.ltdev...
