Version 1.8.0 does not work in Android Cordova App

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.

Reproduce the Android Cordova app with aurelia-fetch-client 1.8.0 and compare it with 1.3.1. Inspect scripts/vendor-bundle.js around line 12730 and the reported Chromium syntax error; done means the 1.8.0 app starts on the device without this error.
