I have an ionic app that I’m working on, everything works perfectly normal locally and on genymotion android emulator, but when I build it for android, it just gives me a grey screen not even loading the splash screen, then it crashes. I tried --aot, --prod, --release then signing with my keystore, nothing works. I updated all the dependencies, redid the src folder on a new app, it worked then did the same thing unexpectedly.
I tried to change the package id from config.xml and it worked, but whenever I put the old package id, it crashes.
I need to keep the package id in order to update the existing app on google play, I do not know what the problem is.
P.S. the old package id was working well then it stopped working (com.kfa.app)
