When I am trying to run app on android device using `ionic run android`, it is showing the build and launch as successful.

On device, it is showing

> app\_name stopped working

I searched a lot and tried installing plugins again, not working. I’m not using ` ionic-keyboard plugin`. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, when I’m using `ionic serve --lab`, it is showing perfectly on browser with some of the plugins not working because browser doesn’t support all the cordova plugins. That’s fine.

`ionic platform add android` shows this in between.

At the end, it says

> saving platform to package.json file

No. I’m still waiting for help. I tried a lot of different ways but couldn’t get it working.
