Alright thanks.

The `themes.xml` actually looks fine and expected here. So I don't think the
crash is from what I was originally expecting.

However, I see you're using an XML vector for your icon.
`res/drawable/ic_logo_pickup.xml`.

**If this is an SVG**, then read on. If not, skip down below.

Android has limited support for SVG directives and can result in a crash if
you're using an unsupported directive.

Android Studio does have a tool called [Asset Vector
Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio/write/vector-asset-studio) which
can be used to import an SVG and convert it to an AVD (Android Vector
Drawable), and if the SVG does have something that cannot be converted, it
should provide the appropriate feedback.

To access the Vector Asset Studio, you'll need to open up the project in
Android Studio (available in `<cordova-project/platforms/android`). Android
Studio may prompt you to update plugins like Android Gradle Plugin. **DO NOT
UPDATE**, as it will likely break the cordova project. SImply dismiss the
prompt.

On the left tab, you should see `Resource Manager`:

From there, click on the `+` Icon to add a `Vector Asset`, which will open a
dialog where you can import an SVG.

Click next and it will show you will it still store the asset. You'll need
to copy the asset back to your root cordova project (rather than leaving it in
the generated native project). Android Studio should have placed it in
`<cordova-project>/platforms/android/app/src/main/res/drawable/<name_you_have_chosen>.xml`,
which should be copied to your `res/drawable/` folder (same location as your
`ic_logo_pickup.xml` as referenced in `config.xml`. Now when you generate the
android project, you will have an AVD vector that will get copied.

**If the xml is already an AVD**, then if you could share the icon as well
as a [minimal reproduction
app](https://github.com/apache/cordova-contribute/blob/master/create-reproduction.md)
that uses the vector, but without any additional plugins, I would suspect that
it will be enough to trigger the crash. If so, sharing that reproduction app
might help us drill down deeper.
