Ionic native secure storage plugin fails silently (on Ionic View and Ionic Dev App on Android) - ionic-framework

Question

I have added Ionic Secure Storage plugin (to store authentication tokens) into my Ionic project, and it works properly locally when running cordova run browser (so that cordova is loaded as a plaform).
However, when I open my project in Ionic DevApp and Ionic View on Android (works correctly on iOS), it fails silently whenever I try to retrieve the saved token.
Here is my code:
// ... unrelated imports omitted
import {Platform} from "ionic-angular";
import {SecureStorage, SecureStorageObject} from "#ionic-native/secure-storage";
#Component({
selector: 'my-component',
templateUrl: 'my-component.html'
})
export class MyComponent {
constructor(private platform: Platform,
private secureStorage: SecureStorage) {
}
ngOnInit() {
this.getToken().then(token => {
// ... do something with the retrieved token
});
}
getToken() {
if (this.platform.is('cordova')) {
/**
* Code below silently fails in Ionic View and Ionic Dev App
* on Android (works correctly on iOS)
*/
return this.platform.ready().then(() =>
return this.secureStorage.create('cp_secure_storage')
.then((storage: SecureStorageObject) => {
return storage.get('TOKEN_NAME')
.then(token => {
console.log(token);
return token;
}, () => null);
});
});
} else {
return Promise.resolve(localStorage.getItem('TOKEN_NAME'));
}
}
}
I have Ionic error monitoring turned on and it catches no errors.
Plugin version:
"#ionic-native/secure-storage": "4.5.3",
"cordova-plugin-secure-storage": "^2.6.8"
