NavController.push does not open next page in release-apk

--- update 1 ---

It looks like a minification issue for prod build.

I can reproduce the error using ionic cordova build android --prod

to create apk and adb install

to push apk to android device. Error message:

main.js:1 ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: No provider for t!

I have 3 lines of code behind a button. The code is attached at the end.

All 3-line functions work as expected in ionic serve

and ionic cordova run android

on a real Android device.

However the 3rd line doesn't work if the code / apk is:

1. built by `ionic cordova build android --prod --release`,  
2. published to google play store,
3. installed to the same android device.

      

        
        
        
      

    

This means it DubPage

does not open by pressing the button.

What I eliminated:

1. this.logger.log() does send data to logentries, i.e. `goToDub`
function is called succesfully.
2.  this.player.pause() does stop the html5 video player
3.  I have no idea how to debug `this.navCtrl.push()`. 
4. The only possible cause I can come up with is the lazy loading of `DubPage`, even though I dont quite believe it being the reason.

      

        
        
        
      

    

Any hints?

  goToDub() {
    this.logger.log(JSON.stringify(this.video)); //send log to 3rd party cloud log service: logentries
    this.player.pause(); // stop html5 video player video.js in the page
    this.navCtrl.push("DubPage", { video: this.video }); // go to DubPage does NOT work in play store released apk version;
  }
