Router unable to route request to do_GET_DesignDocumentcom.couchbase.lite.CouchbaseLiteException: Cannot index view foo1/foo1: no map block registered, Status: 400 (HTTP 400 bad_request) is returned when querying a design document, after app is restarted and new documents are added to the database.

Reproducing

• Install Cordova HelloWorld app with cordova@6.5.0, cordova-android@6.4.0, couchbase-lite-phonegap-plugin@1.4.4
• Create a DB
• Add a design doc that is only map: function(doc) { emit(doc._id, {}); }.toString()
• Add some dummy documents
• Query the design doc -> Query works and documents are returned
• Close the app and restart it
• Query the design doc -> Query works and documents are returned
• Add some dummy documents
• Query the design doc -> HTTP 400 is returned

Same issue can be reproduced by eg installing an older version of CBL, creating the db and documents, then during the restart updating to v1.4.4.

Reproduced with:

• cordova@6.5.0, cordova-android@6.4.0, couchbase-lite-phonegap-plugin@1.4.4

Not reproduced with:

• cordova@6.5.0, cordova-android@6.4.0, couchbase-lite-phonegap-plugin@1.3.1
• cordova@6.5.0, cordova-android@6.4.0, couchbase-lite-phonegap-plugin@1.4.1

Since cordova-android@7 does not work with couchbase-lite-phonegap-plugin@1.4.1 and couchbase-lite-phonegap-plugin@1.4.4 would work, but it is broken, here is a fork of couchbase-lite-phonegap-plugin@1.4.1, which has the necessary changes for it to work with cordova-android@7:
