@slikk66, I am facing the same issue with my ionic application, that's working fine on all android versions except Jelly Bean(4.1.x, 4.2.x and 4.3.x), even working on lower versions also.
I have no clue here, please help me if you remember how your issue has been resolved, my config file has only minimum sdk version preference, even I tried with target sdk version preference also but not working for me. At least anybody let me know how can I debug this issue.
<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="9"/>
This is the preference from my config.xml file.
