Change it -> “cordova-android”: “4.3.0”,

That is totally wrong. cordova-android is the Cordova platform, its version number does have nothing to do with Android version.

Your problem is possibly caused by the cordova-plugin-ionic-webview plugin that is part of every new or updated Ionic app. The current version 2.x doesn’t support Android 4.x any more.

Hi Sujan,

i followed the steps you described but it’s still not working. I have downgraded the webview plugin to 1.2.1( ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-ionic-webview@1.2.1). but it showing the same error.
