Hey there.

App doesnt go past splash screen and sometimes shows white screen after using command:  
`ionic cordova run android`  
App works fine with command `ionic cordova run android -lcs` - but I need to test native calendar behavior.  
I also created demo small aplication(Ionic 3 as well) using CLI with similar functionality and it works okay.  
Thank you for any suggestions.

You could try hooking your android device to chrome’s remote devices debugger and seeing if there are any errors.

There was problem with version of `cordova-android` I’ve set it manually to version `8.1.0` in package.json and in config.xml `<engine name="android" spec="^8.1.0" />` and it is running without any issue.
