Reproduction

export default defineNuxtPlugin({
  name: 'my-plugin',
  enforce: 'pre', // or 'post'
  async setup (nuxtApp) {
    // this is the equivalent of a normal functional plugin
  },
  hooks: {
    // You can directly register Nuxt app hooks here
    'app:created'() {
      const nuxtApp = useNuxtApp()
      // 
    }
  }
})

Describe the bug

Hooks in plugins are not firing when defined via object syntax. Minimal example exactly like in documentation is not working. Defining a hook in the setup function of the plugin works.

Can you provide a reproduction please ?
I can't reproduce it https://stackblitz.com/edit/nuxt-starter-kblc9k?file=plugins%2Fhook.ts,nuxt.config.ts

I created a clean Nuxt project locally, with no plugins or additional dependencies. As described above, the setup function fires, but the hooks don't. I'm not sure why this is not reproducible on stackblitz, or where this is coming from :(

I found a possible reason. After disabling devtools the hooks are working!

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  devtools: { enabled: false },
})

It seem devtools are causing the problem.
