I have a Cordova app that was working properly on both ripple emulator and Android devices. For some odd reason, the app decided not to work on Android devices while it still run fine on ripple emulator. Whenever I try to deploy the app on any Android device, I get "unfortunately [app name] has stopped" alert on my device.
After few days of research, I am still unable to determine the cause of this issue although I am suspecting that it may be related to plugins. I tried to remove some unnecessary plugins but still I am unable to run on Android devices.
Any advice or direction is appreciated.

I debugged the app by connecting my device while running Android Studio and analyzing the logcat output. I noticed that the plugin StatusBar was throwing an error. I removed it and added it again in my project and now everything works fine :)
