"SyntaxError: Unexpected token (" on Android 7.0.0 (API 24)

I am having an issue with ionic running on Android 7. I am getting the following error message:

localhost/:53 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token (

Which I figured out should be this line of code: https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/blob/1451ec850a9ef73267a032638e73f1fc440647b9/core/native-bridge.ts#L61

Its a fresh tab based project with angular as the framework

This is my environment:

Shouldn’t Capacitor show this kind of Message? Is there some example code to do something like this?

Don’t get me wrong - I don’t mind implementing this but the reason to use Ionic with Capacitor is so that one don’t have to mess with native code. This seems so essential that it would be a good candidate to be included into Capacitor.
