I already checked the documentation and it says there that
“Calling on Android 5 / API 22 and below will always return GRANTED status as permissions are already granted at installation time.” so I assume that API 22 and below are supported.

Your Cordova tooling seems to be out of date, which might be causing all kinds of problems.
You can read about how to figure out the current Cordova versions and how to update CLI, platforms and plugins here: How to update Cordova CLI, Platforms and Plugins · ionic.zone

Hi, I already updated my cordova but the problem still exists. Again there are no errors when building, but the it crashes when I open the app.

Steps to reproduce :

  1. Open emulator with API 22 and below
  2. Install plugin DIAGNOSTICS
    $ ionic cordova plugin add cordova.plugins.diagnostic
    $ npm install --save @ionic-native/diagnostic
  3. Run “ionic cordova emulate android”
