Are you running your MDK app in the app store client or in a branded client built using MDK SDK or cloud build service?

I didn't understand what did you mean by "using app Store client with cloud build service".

Did you build your MDK client using cloud build service? OR are you using client (SAP Mobile Services Client) from app store?

Since you are consuming a NS plugin, cloud build service standard client has no knowledge about it.

You would need to explicitly add this plugin information in the MDKProject.json and build your branded client. You can do it either via MDK SDK or customized client option in CBS.

We have a showcase app about using NS printer plugin, you can find details here.

Our app is already in production and 50% of the users are using webApp and remaining are Android/iOS. I am deploying the app using cloud build service. Please guide me how can I do the changes.

Thank you.

Not sure what you mean by customized existing client app? If you are building / branding your own client then yes you can customize it.
