Android Debug Build Fails

When building a new Ionic app and deploying the APK to an Android device the app fails to start with the error message:

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED (http://localhost:8080)

I can replicate this issue with the following steps:

1. ionic start test blank
2. ionic cordova build android
3. Deploy the debug APK to the Android device
4. Open the application
