I’m not sure what’s going on but when I try to run “ionic cordova run android” or “ionic cordova run android --prod”, when the app installs on my phone, it immediately shuts down and says “Unfortunately, [app] has stopped working”.

In v2, this used to be some problem with the plugins, which I could solve by removing the plugins folder and re-adding the platform and plugins (all plugins except Push would automatically be installed because of my config.xml settings). But now there doesn’t seem to be a plugins folder, and removing and reinstalling the platform doesn’t work. I’m fairly sure I have all the plugins installed correctly because the app runs fine on iOS.

??? Help ???
