Hello there!
I’m using the latest version of Ionic, but my boot time still sucks, and its taking 15 seconds to boot an app size 8mb with just a few plugins… I read about the Ahead of Time (Aot) would be included in the latest version. That’s my ionic info:
Cordova CLI: 6.4.0
Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.8
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.1.4
ios-deploy version: Not installed
ios-sim version: Not installed
OS: Linux 3.16
Node Version: v7.1.0
Xcode version: Not installed
Why is my app taking so long to boot? Do i have to do something to use AoT on my project?
In my case I noticed a stighly difference between emulating my app with XCode on my computer (2 sec boot time) or on a real device like iPhone 6 maybe 5-6 sec till 9s-more on an iPhone4 … maybe are you experiencing 15s on an old phone?
