If you started your project before April, some of these problems will also be resolved by using angular2-polyfills and es6-shim. Check out the last few commits in one of the starter templates (https://github.com/driftyco/ionic2-starter-tabs/tree/4552fc4232434c0b122c0add1b5bfd4f929e0d47) to see how to get your app up to date.

index.html should have these lines, and a few other things get changed around:

  <!-- Polyfill needed for platforms without Promise and Collection support -->
  <script src="build/js/es6-shim.min.js"></script>
  <!-- Zone.js and Reflect-metadata  -->
  <script src="build/js/angular2-polyfills.js"></script>

I got a curious solution. First, here is my config:

Cordova CLI: 6.5.0 Ionic Framework Version: 2.1.0 Ionic CLI Version: 2.2.1 Ionic App Lib Version: 2.2.0 Ionic App Scripts Version: 1.1.4 ios-deploy version: Not installed ios-sim version: Not installed OS: Linux 4.4 Node Version: v6.9.4 Xcode version: Not installed

The crosswalk plugin, as discussed, adds to apk size, footprint and internal storage and decreases the performance. I was suffering with the white screen issue with a couple of devices in 4.4.2 and noticed that when you add the crosswalk plugin and use it running ionic build the contend of your project and how it is packaged changes but doesn’t change all back when ir is removed. It keeps generating two apks (x86 and arm7). So I did this:

Install the plugin -> cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview

Use it, so it can download all dependencies and config your project -> cordova build android

Remove it -> cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview

Make sure no module content stays back -> rm -rf node_modules

Reinstall all your modules -> npm install

Clean residues and check the state of your project -> cordova clean

Now I have an apk without the issues of size, foorprint and storage that works in android 4.4.2. Maybe Ionic team could investigate further and the community test this in previous android versions?
