Debug is not supported on android device

When the app is built and deployed on the android device using ionic run android debugging is not available. Please note that source map and debugging works fine in the browser. I also upgraded ionic-app-scripts to the latest version 0.0.48 but it did not helped

I managed to find out what was causing the problem and how to solve it. The problem was that when you're remote debugging on an android device, Chrome debugger cannot access the source map file on the device. The solution/fix is to include the source map inline. To do this I:

added the below to package.json in the root project directory

"config": {
"ionic_bundler": "webpack",
"ionic_source_map_type": "#inline-source-map"
},

This is to make the webpack to add source maps inline
changed tsconfig.js line
"sourceMap": true,
to
"sourceMap": false
This is to disable typescript to create source map file since this is done by webpack
After this change everything seems to be working fine
