Sometimes using ionic cordova run browser is not the best option, since it takes a long time for it to compile your changes.

In my case, what was causing the issue was the FCM plugin. It cannot run on the browser, if I use ionic serve. Since my code was inside app.component.ts, it was easy for me to get around the problem. I simply used the following line:

  if (platform.is('cordova')) 
     {  this.fcmx.onTokenRefresh().subscribe(token => { 
     this.pushNoti.storeNewToken(token); }); }

Using platform.is('cordova'), you can prevent the code causing trouble to run on the browser.
