Additional Information

I've played around with it and the following rules have solved it:
For all related plugin that uses permissions:

-keep @interface com.getcapacitor.**

The following is needed for the camera plugin, let me know if you want me to open a different issue:

# The camera plugin carries its parameters and its results between the app and the editor as gson
# objects, and neither gson nor the ioncamera-android library that uses it ships rules of its own.
# Gson works over these classes by reflection: it needs the fields to still be there to fill them,
# the @SerializedName on each one to know which json key it answers to, and the generic signature
# of a TypeToken to know what it is building - none of which R8 can see is used. These are gson's
# own documented rules.
-keepattributes Signature
-dontwarn sun.misc.**
-keepclassmembers,allowobfuscation class * {
    @com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName <fields>;
}
-keep,allowobfuscation,allowshrinking class com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken
-keep,allowobfuscation,allowshrinking class * extends com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken
-keep class * extends com.google.gson.TypeAdapter
-keep class * implements com.google.gson.TypeAdapterFactory
-keep class * implements com.google.gson.JsonSerializer
-keep class * implements com.google.gson.JsonDeserializer
