Update running iOS emulator causes black screen

When I launch ionic emulate ios and the emulator is not running, everything works fine. However, if the emulator is already running, it updates to a black screen. I can run Reset Settings and Content from the iOS Simulator menu, which clears up the problem. However, that’s awkward to do. Is there another way to update an existing application?

I have the same problem on 10.9.4, with Xcode 5.1.1. The workaround I found was that changing devices from the iOS emulator updates the application it after the black screen. I just toggle between 3.5 in and 4 in displays.

Anyone found anything else that works?

I have the same problem. No solution found, I am changing device hardware in iOS simulator too.

Yep, that works for me too. I’ll just use the ionic serve when I need faster turnaround. Thanks!

Hey guys, this is an error with ios-sim, I get this all the time. A good trick though is to get to the simulators home screen by pressing cmd+h, then go back home, this will fix things
