Crash at startup for android device

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I was able to build the android version without any error. However, when I tried to start the app on the real device, the app crashed immediately without showing the splash screen. Has anyone countered similar problem and how did you debug the app in such situation? Many thanks.

Thanks, @hariman. I got such error from logcat. Interesting point is I was able to build the version in 5 days ago and ran the google Ad successfully on the device. During these 5 days, I didnt change the codes. But I simply got such error when i build the debug version again. Do you have any clue to such issue?
