App crashes on startup (Android)

ionic-v1
1

The app crashes and I get a popup that says “unfortunately app has been stopped”.
I get this error when running the app on some older android (4.3, 4.4). But it works on 4.4.4 and iOS.
Any ideas?

hmmm, the problem seems to be cause because of this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7827
(in cordova 4.0 there’s a bug(?) when you build, it doesnt set the android:name in AndroidManifest.xml to the name you’ve set in config.xml (it sets it to CordovaApp).

To fix this I manually changed android:name in AndroidManifest.xml to my apps name. But that’s not enough!. You’ll have to change some more stuff (see apache-link above).

Hi. I have this problem as well after updating my app (“Unfortunately, {{appname}} has stopped”).
Is there another solution? or maybe a way to debug the cause of this generic error?
I tried the solution listed above.

Thanks

Did you change the name in android manifest.xml?

Is there any other solution I’ve tried this and it still hasn’t worked for me
