What about a debug version? Can you install and run it successfully in debug mode?Kaloyan Dimitrov– Kaloyan Dimitrov2019-11-15 12:00:20 +00:00Commented Nov 15, 2019 at 12:00

@Abx are you listening to the deviceready event to bootstrap your app? If cordova is not improrted properly you might not have the event firing and the app wont start at all which would look like a white screen. How does your index.html look like and also the part where Angular is getting bootstraped? If you are still having this problem you need to provide some more information. Good luck.Kaloyan Dimitrov– Kaloyan Dimitrov2019-11-18 09:22:02 +00:00Commented Nov 18, 2019 at 9:22

The following steps work for me
Install cordova globally
Go into the Angular project folder and run this
cordova create mobileIf there is not a folder inside your Angular project folder called "dist", run this:
ng buildChange directory
cd mobileLink the dist file with the www file. Run this command in cmd as administrator
mklink /d "C:\Users\....\www" "C:\Users\....\dist"Go to the parent directory (you should be in the Angular project folder now) and run this:
ng buildGo to mobile\www\index.html and do this change
<base href="/"> --> <base href="./">Go to the mobile directory (cd mobile) and run this
cordova platform add androidConnect the android phone and run this
cordova run android
