It looks like the plugin is too old for the current Cordova plugin system. [https://github.com/thedracle/cordova-android-chromeview/issues/5](https://github.com/thedracle/cordova-android-chromeview/issues/5) You’ll have to find another plugin to achieve the results you are looking for or fork and update this one. ---

I got this exactly error. Installing _plugman_ solved my issue. Not sure if you already have it installed: ``` npm install -g plugman ``` ---

Hi @sopesewind, If this isn’t working, you can try to download the _Crosswalk_ from _[Crosswalk Project](https://crosswalk-project.org/#documentation/downloads)_ and follow this guideline: [Migrate an existing Cordova application to Crosswalk](https://crosswalk-project.org/#documentation/cordova/migrate_an_application) Although I haven’t had any error installing the plugin you want, it simply **not** worked here, no errors, nothing. Then I went to the solution I described above and it’s working now. ---

Thanks to reply, @denisazevedo In fact, the reason I was trying to use this plugin, application created by `ionic build android` is too slow to release application. (especially, if application should support old device (At least Galaxy S)) Before finding this plugin, i already tried **Crosswalk Project** , **GeckoView** …etc. but it’s to big size, and unstable. Finally, i made own android web view application(it contain some web view, so try launch application, web view try to load ionic application(just upload server), and load JSON to list database) ionic is one of the best framework, but sometime if users want legacy support to application, ionic framework is thought seemed to unsuitable
