Unfortunately Myapp has stopped.

The new version of cordova-plugin-app-update throws an error

Unfortunately Myapp has stopped work To debug, firstly I created a new ionic projects - ionic start Myapp tabs. Then I ran the command ionic cordova run android --device and it worked fine.

Then when I install cordova-plugin-app-update, and nothing else ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-app-update npm install --save @ionic-native/app-update

Myapp throws an error

Unfortunately Myapp has stopped.

This is the result of my ionic info

@ionic/cli-utils  : 1.19.1

ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.19.1

global packages:

cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.0.0

local packages:

@ionic/app-scripts : 3.1.8
Cordova Platforms  : android 7.0.0
Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.9.2

System:

Node : v6.11.3
npm  : 3.10.10
OS   : Windows 10

Thanks

@ian-beer @egrendonDev My solution is move the folder in android/src/com/vaenow to android/app/src/main/java/com. I think it’s wrong when installing plugin. cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.0.0 Cordova Platforms : android 7.0.0 ios 4.3.1

We have the same problem.

Ours is also an ionic 2 app, it builds fine locally from visual studio code or web storm. but the build is flawed once it goes thru our build pipeline, signed etc.

it does not work on either: Pixel 2 Samsung S7
