So I have installed an external plugin from disk “Android drawable importer” and when I use Android Studio with this plugin the “IDE error occurred” is shown. I have noticed that if I disable the plugin, the IDE error disappears. So if I know that the error is caused by the plugin, if I ignore it, would there be any problem if it is shown? Or it could affect the proper functioning of my app?

We have no way of knowing what impact there is on your IDE or that plugin from whatever the error is.
It should not affect your app directly. Your IDE might not work, or the plugin might not work. Those things might affect your ability to write the app.
To draw an analogy, suppose that instead of showing "IDE error occurred", your development computer caught on fire due to whatever the problem is. That does not affect your app, other than by how it affects your ability to write the app, given that your computer is on fire.
Depending on the binary you downloaded and the version of Android Studio you are running various "IDE error" events may occur.
If you are using Android Studio Dolphin use the binary noted in this answer.
