Describe the Bug
When trying to make an API call using Ionic Native HTTP plugin the application crashes and shuts down.

When the application only has the Ionic Native HTTP plugin the plugin works.

This only happens when the Launch Navigator plugin is installed: the Launch Navigator works in isolation and when both are installed.

I have traced the error point to cordova.js line 926:
var msgs = nativeApiProvider.get().exec(bridgeSecret, service, action, callbackId, argsJson);

No console error is written the application just shuts down and the debugger disconnects.

Steps to Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1.Create a blank app
ionic start myApp blank --type=angular

2. Install ionic http
   ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-advanced-http
   npm install --save @ionic-native/http@5.0.0-beta.17

3. Install ionic launch navigator
   ionic cordova plugin add uk.co.workingedge.phonegap.plugin.launchnavigator
   npm install --save @ionic-native/launch-navigator@5.0.0-beta.17

4. add HTTP as a provider in home module

5. import, inject and use the HTTP in the home.page.ts

6. call the use of the HTTP from the html of the page

** home.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { IonicModule } from '@ionic/angular';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { HTTP } from '@ionic-native/http/ngx';
import { HomePage } from './home.page';
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    FormsModule,
    IonicModule,
    RouterModule.forChild([
      {
        path: '',
        component: HomePage
      }
    ])
  ],
  declarations: [HomePage],
  providers: [HTTP]
})
export class HomePageModule {}

**home.page.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { HTTP } from '@ionic-native/http/ngx';
@Component({
  selector: 'app-home',
  templateUrl: 'home.page.html',
  styleUrls: ['home.page.scss'],
})
export class HomePage {
  constructor(
    private http: HTTP
  ) {
  }
  getStuff() {
       this.http.get('https://www.google.co.uk', null, null).then((success) => alert('success'), (error) => alert('error'));
  }
}

**home.page.html

<ion-header>
 <ion-toolbar>
    <ion-title>
      Ionic Blank
    </ion-title>
  </ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>
<ion-content padding>
  The world is your oyster.
  <p>If you get lost, the <button (click)="getStuff()" >Get Stuff</button> will be your guide.</p>
</ion-content>

Expected Behavior
I would expect the application to make the api call, not crash and close.

Additional Context
Please let me know if I should post this on another Github repo.

I have tried the HTTP plugin in conjunction with the camera plugin and both plugins work correctly here.

When I am adding and removing the plugins I always remove them from the config.xml and remove both the platforms and plugins folder from my workspace

I'm also using LaunchNavigator feature in my app and as I tried to use Native Http using cordova-plugin-advanced-http it crashes the app.

Any solution for this?

[danielsogl]

Can you update to the latest beta and test it again?

[patrickgkelly]

I have upgraded to

"@ionic-native/http": "^5.0.0-beta.20"
"@ionic-native/launch-navigator": "^5.0.0-beta.20"
"@ionic/angular": "4.0.0-beta.11"

Still experiencing the same behavior unfortunately

This is not a problem of Ionic, it's an issue of the cordova plugin i think

[Genarito]

@patrickgkelly Did you report this issue to Cordova? I'm having the same issue in Ionic 3, It doesn't crash on iOS

[patrickgkelly]

@Genarito I also posted a link here:

danielsogl/awesome-cordova-plugins#2730

Where would you suggest I post within cordova?

[Genarito]

I've just reported in Cordova and the plugin repos! :D

[Genarito]

Ok, It's a problem with the fixed version of OKHTTP in the Advance HTTP Plugin. The solution for the problem is to set the library version in the Launch Navigator Plugin's variable as they say in this issue.

Hope It helps!
