How do I debug when using ionic emulate android

I created an application using ionic:
ionic start MyFirstApp blank
cd MyFirstApp
ionic serve
ionic platform add android
ionic build android
ionic emulate android
Everything is successful except the emulator step. The emulator boots up, but I get "Unfortunately, MyFirstApp has stopped". Everything brand new straight out of the box, no changes to code.
What next? How do I debug what has gone wrong?
EDIT
This is the output displayed when I call ionic build android:

EDIT 2 This is the output from android list avd
Available Android Virtual Devices:

Device: Nexus 7 (Google)

A much easier/better solution in my opinion is to use the chrome://inspect tool on chrome.
Launch the app on your Android using
ionic run android
Open Chrome and go to: chrome://inspect - this will list your connected devices.
Inspect the app using chrome dev tools as if you were inspecting any other web page.

Please make sure you created the right avd configuration for the emulator.
type android list avd and see the output. What is the first avd listed there ? If it shows older API level (for eg: 7)
API level 9 and higher is required, API level 15 and high preferred. You cannot use API 20 Android Wear AVD, as it is only for testing wear devices.
You can delete the existing avd with android delete avd -n Name (replace Name with yours).
create one with android create avd --name test15 --target android-15 --abi x86
make sure android list avd shows your avd is the first listed.
I followed the same steps, i use windows, my ionic build android output is similar to yours; I was able to get ionic emulate android working with API-15, please see below:

ant emma BUILD FAILED

I try to run android unit test with code coverage. I'm using the Android example NotePad.
These are the commands I used:
cd <main project folder>
android update project --path .
android update test-project -m <full path to main project> -p <full path to main project>\tests
cd ./tests
ant emma debug install test
the tests runs successfully. But in the end emma can't generate the report html File.
Here you get the commandline output of ant emma debug install test

I would like to post the C:\Android\android-sdk\tools\ant\build.xml but the file is to long. But i guess it is always the same...
Any ideas?

The command ant emma debug install test is only successfull on a rooted device or on an emulator (otherwise permission denied).
Useful hints:
If you're using SDK 13 or older you've to use ant coverage instead of ant emma debug install test
One of the last output lines show you where the report file has been saved
If you use Windows you have to add the Path of the android.bat (normally /tools) and the path of the ant.bat (depending where you installed Ant; If you use Eclipse with ADT it is normally there: /plugins/org.apache.ant.../bin) to the PATH Variable (you may also have to do this with a diffrent OS)

You can run "android" on the command line and use the GUI to select "Manage AVDs...". Create an AVD from there and you're good to go.
IMPORTANT: AVDs are only visible to the user who created it, I have to run "sudo phonegap" and tried creating an avd without sudo and it wasn't visible to phonegap. So I had to "sudo android" and create it again.

Android + In-App BIlling + Proguard

I have created the app with in-app biling and now I want to obfuscate my code to short the chance to crack it. BUt there is some problems with proguard setup. I am trying to setup it by this tutorial. My project structure is common and the main project has the reference to other project which has IN-app service with all functionality. I have stopped on the last step where is executing ant release with code obfuscating. All the time I receive:

/home/viktor/Desktop/Dropbox/work/MyProject/add-proguard-release.xml:14: /home/viktor/Desktop/Dropbox/work/MyProject/${out.classes.dir} does not exist.
The error notifies me that something is not found but what and how to fix it?
ANother thing, when I was on the second step where is ant release of unsigned project without obfuscating I have received succes but with some notification: "It seems that you have subprojects, if so, please use --subprojects command". I try to add this parameter and receive totally succes without nitifications quite long but I cannot update subprojects. I m not sure its very bad or not. Please could you help me to fix this moment too.

The tutorial that you are using is outdated. ProGuard is now part of the Android SDK. You can enable it by commenting in the corresponding line in project.properties, as explained in the documentation of the Android SDK.
