Ionic 3 Native Plugin Error: Java exception was raised during method invocation

Question

Ionic native plugins on my app started acting weird lately (it was working fine earlier).Whenever I try to call any method related to plugins (mainly ionic-native-camera-plugin, ionic-native-geolocation-plugin) it catches error in promise which reads Error: Java exception was raised during method invocation .

I don't know what went wrong, it was working fine few weeks ago.

PS: I tried removing android platform, tried removing each plugins. None of them worked.

Error: Java exception was raised during method invocation
    at androidExec (cordova.js:963)
    at Object.cameraExport.getPicture (Camera.js:156)
    at s (vendor.js:1)
    at vendor.js:1

    at vendor.js:1

    at l.<anonymous> (vendor.js:1)

I think this issue is more related with cordova.

Answer 1

Here is the solution which helped me was removing the from HTML and adding it using the scripts (after cordova.js was loaded and deviceready was fired) with simple jQuery call:

$('body').append('<iframe id="framed" style="border: none;" src="..."></iframe>');

After doing this, I tested on some devices and I was not getting this error anymore.
