After I successfully developing and testing my app on iOS, I now moved to the Android sim, but am getting class not found errors. How can I fix the dependencies? I have deleted and re-added the platform/android folder many times…

Here’s my error:

Does the app still work?  
It may just be an issue with a plugin rather than an issue with your app.

I think it depends on the installation. On the first computer, it gives me the error. On another I did a fresh Android installation an it runs there now.

However, it does not work. It might be some CORS issue + I am using LeafletJS .  
How can I really step-by-step debug the Android emulator? I like the Safari feature where you can hook into iOS. Does something similar exist?

Thanks,  
EL

Yes, if you’re targeting android 4.4+, you can use chrome to debug the app.
