Nativescript webpack 2.2.0 android release apk is crashing after splash screen in device

Question

Hi I am using Nativescript 2.5.2 & Angular 2 and webpack 2.2.0 to bundle the app. I followed all the instructions for 'webpack' and successfully build ios release for device and its working fine

npm run build-ios-bundle -- --release --for-device

And in android below is working and app running fine in device/genymotion

npm run start-android-bundle

But when I build the app with release key store build was successfull but app is crashing in device after splashscreen.

npm run build-android-bundle -- --release --key-store-path /Users/maisapride7/workspace/KIDSAPP/tingr-teacher-key.jks --key-store-password tingr786 --key-store-alias my-alias --key-store-alias-password tingr786

and without webpack the release apk working fine in device without any crash

tns build android --release --key-store-path /Users/maisapride7/workspace/KIDSAPP/tingr-teacher-key.jks --key-store-password tingr786 --key-store-alias my-alias --key-store-alias-password tingr786

Can any one please help me why its not working for webpack build for release with keystore?

genymotion by default show a log trace at the display of emulator when app crashes, then you could copy and paste here. — Douglas Franco, Mar 20 '17 at 15:14
the dialog shown unfortunately 'appname' closed try to to resolve or ok buttons are showing its release apk and that the problem. — Upender Devulapally, Mar 21 '17 at 17:00

This worked for me after running 'tns platform remove android && tns platform add android'

npm run build-android-bundle -- --key-store-path my-key-store-path/my-key-store-filename[.jks | .keystore] --key-store-password my-key-store-password --key-store-alias my-alias --key-store-alias-password my-alias-password --release --for-device
