When installed on Windows, app crashes at startup

[mavenius]

The tabs sample includes the following in app.js:

   if (window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
        cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
        cordova.plugins.Keyboard.disableScroll(true);

}

On Windows 10, an error occurs when

hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true); 

is run. Commenting out this line allows the app to start up as expected. The behavior when the error happens is the splash screen shows for a moment, but then the app closes. An Information-level event appears in Windows Application Event Viewer with an Event Name of WWAJSE.

I ran into the same issue. Solved by doing like below:

if( window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard ) {
    // Check reference to avoid runtime error on windows phone
    if( window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar ) {
        cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar( true );
    }
    cordova.plugins.Keyboard.disableScroll( true );
}

I, and other developers I work with, see this often, too. I know that the code in the first post here is the same as the default source in Ionic templates. So, either the Ionic templates should change to use the pattern from the @beat-at-hartwig response, or perhaps the hideKeyboardAccessoryBar function should be implemented for the Windows platform, even if it's just a function that does nothing?

I continue with the same issue

don't work for my ionic app :-\

I have also the same problem as @agallen . The solution from the @beat-at-hartwig works only for really simple Ionic application (for example generated tabs app).

Any progress on this issue?

I have the same problem. Maybe someone has luck??
