Version 1.8.0 does not work in Android Cordova App

[clmorales]

I have an Android app using cordova and Aurelia. The app uses aurelia-fetch-client 1.3.1. When I tried to create a new app using aurelia-fetch-client 1.8.0 the does not start on device. Error log shows io.cordova.hellocordova I/chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(12730)] "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token {", source: file:///android_asset/www/scripts/vendor-bundle.js (12730)

When I downgrade the version to 1.3.1 it works fine again.

@clmorales Thanks for filing this. Can you help try with a lower version of fetch client? Maybe 1.8.0 or 1.7.0?

Hi I tried Version 1.7.0 and It Works, so the problem it is on 1.8.0 only.

@clmorales I think you are probably get similar issues with this https://github.com/aurelia/path/issues/29

But that guess could incorrect if the Android Webview supports newer features of JavaScript. It's still worth a try and test. Can you give a bit more info about the environment where it got the error?

@bigopon not sure if it helps, but we have (stupidly) export class ApiClient extends HttpClient { and that stopped working in 1.8.0 with hmm HttpClient needs to be create with new or so

@doktordirk Could you help with a simple snippet or repro and somemore details on how it fails? I think I'm a bit confused what kind of issues you are running into.

babel 6 transpiled

var ApiClient = exports.ApiClient = function (_HttpClient) {
	  _inherits(ApiClient, _HttpClient);
	
	  function ApiClient() {
	    _classCallCheck(this, ApiClient);

@bigopon retried with babel 7 and there it works with 1.8.0
