Meteor runs locally without errors and builds, but when I upload to test it on the Play Console, it immediately crashes. Any ideas what might be causing it. Below is some of what is it saying in the build.
WARNING: Attempting to install plugin cordova-plugin-inappbrowser@0.5.4, but it should have a minimum version of 3.2.0 to ensure

@trustydusty82 What do you mean by crash? You get a white screen (WSOD)? Or the app actually crashes and the android system tries to report it?
If it runs locally, I think you are getting the WSOD. A path to debug this is to generate the APK with the --debug flag. So you would run something like meteor build . --platforms=android --packageType=apk --debug --mobile-server=... (not 100% sure the command would be this, but it’s something along these lines).
After you generate the APK you can install it on your emulator and open chrome dev tools to debug it.
But if you are getting an actual crash on the app, it might be related to the inappbrowser version you are using (according to the logs you posted) - you could try updating it to see if it helps.
Here’s what I’m receiving for the app crashing:

I figured this out. It was crashing because of settings for Admob in my config file. I removed them, and it stopped crashing.
