Ionic 4 not working on Android Emulator

I just generated a new project with

ionic start test4 blank --type=angular

After that, I executed:

ionic cordova run android

And I got:

The same happened with two different emulators, one with Nougat and another with Mashmallow.

My package.json is:

}

Nevertheless, it works on my phone, but it obscures Android’s status bar leaving it black, almost opaque (that’s another issue I don’t know how to solve).

I tested everything again with Ionic 3 and everything worked, on the two emulators and on my phone.

did you ever find a solution to this?

You may get more detailed error messages by checking the javascript console output through one of the following methods:

  • Inspect the app’s webview with Chrome by opening chrome://inspect
  • Check the log of the webview by using logcat (look for lines containing “chromium”)

Not working for me too. but works on real device when i plugged in my android device. Any workaround for this?
