Release build kills http request

[elduderino15]

The problem with building my app is that when I build it with

cordova clean android
cordova build --release android 

+ sign + zipalign

the app fails to process any http / https request.
When I build with

cordova build --debug android

the requests work, but I can not upload it to the app store because it’s a debug build.

I would like to compare both final builds to identify the culprit. How can I compare the now binary AndroidManifest.xml files for instance? I found this post, yet I can not make any sense out of it for myself.

If we create the release bundle with ionic cordova build android --release we have the problem that after every first open of the app on the first request to the cloud, the request is going wrong. No HTTP error or something like that. But the request is…
