Meteor apk release build not working

Question

I'm working on a mobile app using Meteor and ionic.

When I built the apk for android, the apk generated (release-unsigned.apk) didn't work on my device. It does show the splash screen, then it just shows a blank white screen and that's it. I run it in bluestacks and used remote debugging to figure out what wrong, and this error came up in the console:

    Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module SoldatyApp due to:
Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: e

I should also mention that the debug.apk is working just fine.

EDIT:

I unpacked both the debug and the release apks: the difference is that the release apk has only two js files inn index.html: one named cordova.js and the other is the one triggering the error, whilst the debug apk has all the packages used in the project in index.html but I still don't know how to solve the problem: how can I make the packages included in the release apk?

you can't make a request to your localhost using your device — Oussema Aroua, May 11 '16 at 20:39
The problem is, that you inject an unknown provider in your anguar app. This normaly happens because of a syntax error or because some files arent included. I don't know meteor, but i assume that in release build they use minimize or something like that and this broke your app — Simon Schüpbach, May 11 '16 at 20:44
@OussemaAroua If this would be the problem then the `debug.apk` won't work neither — Simon Schüpbach, May 11 '16 at 20:47
@SimonSchüpbach That's what I'm thinking: it's a problem with minification. because the app is running as expected on the browser, and in debug mode, but it fails in the release — younes sofiane, May 11 '16 at 20:48
Try to unpack your release build and then run the project in browser, maybe you will be get some helpful outputs — Simon Schüpbach, May 11 '16 at 20:53
@MasterAM my phone is on android 4.1, so I can't inspect a webview but I did inspect the app on bluestacks, and it gave me the error I posted — younes sofiane, May 11 '16 at 21:24

After posting the question in meteor forums, one of the MDG staff (Urigo) suggested that I ran the app in angular's strictDi

https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/di

I found out that there was a problem with onEnter of ui-router, because I wrote it like this:

onEnter:function($state){

 //code here
}

But in fact I should have wrote it like this:

onEnter:['$state',function($state){

 //code here
}]

And of course it goes without saying that this should be applied to controllers, services... too For more details, read this: https://docs.angularjs.org/error/$injector/strictdi
