ionic-cli: Cordova not available when using livereload on CLI 3.8.0

After updating to CLI 3.8.0, running in Android device using the command ionic cordova run android -lcs, Cordova plugins does not work. The log shows the following message:

console.warn: Native: tried calling Camera.getPicture, but Cordova is not available. Make sure to include cordova.js or run in a device/simulator

Seems like the issue is when you are trying to run with the livereaload flag. I’ve tried the following commands:

ionic cordova run android --livereload
ionic cordova run android -lcs

Only command working is ionic cordova run android.

Plugins tested:

Ionic native camera
Ionic native geolocation

Steps to reproduce:

Update to CLI 3.8.0
Run your application on Android by using livereload flag
Test Cordova function on device.

Thanks for the thorough bug report, @jayserdny! This one snuck in, unfortunately.

I’ve published 3.8.1 to fix this issue.
