Blank page if no internet connection and app is first time opened after installing

When I do a fresh install of the app to a device without internet connection and open the app, it’s showing white blank screen. It doesn’t happen if I open the app for the first time with internet connection, then I turn the connection off and reopen the app.

I am checking the network in app.component.ts after platform is ready and expected behaviour is to show an alert and exit the app.


@Component({
     templateUrl: 'app.html'
})
export class MyApp {
    public isOnline: boolean = navigator.onLine;

 ...

ngOnInit() {
    this.platform.ready().then(() => {
    this.checkNetwork()
    ...
}

checkNetwork() {
    if (!this.isOnline) {
      console.log("No internet connection!");
      // show alert & if user clicks ok:
      this.platform.exitApp();
}

XCode gives me this output:
