Any ideas on where to start debugging this? Thanks very much!

Have you tried upgrading to the latest version of card.io? 5.1.0 is over 6 months old, and quite a few bug fixes have been released since then.

@braebot Looks like the version being used in the vkeepe Cordova plugin linked above is 5.1.0 - the plugin author hasn't updated it since. Would it just be a matter of compiling the latest version of this SDK into a JAR file to include in the plugin?

[braebot]

Since we push our aar files to mavenCentral, there isn't any custom packaging required anymore. I would recommend taking a look at the PayPal Cordova SDK as a reference.

Perhaps it's worth updating the original Cordova repo at some point, rather than relying on the fork.
