I get this Error on my Android screen when it tries to load the app (using either emulate or run)

Error Dialog:

Application Error  
net::ERR\_CONNECTION\_REFUSED ([http://localhost:8100](http://localhost:8100))

## App view in background: Webpage not available The webpage at [http://localhost:8100](http://localhost:8100) could not be loaded because: net::ERR\_CONNECTION\_REFUSED

Any help on what to look into to make this work is appreciated!  
Thanks! - Sean

Things I’ve done:

1. whitelist plugin installed
2. localhost:8100 whitelist entry made in config.xml
3. ionic.config - ionicServeAddress and platformserveAddress both set to localhost
4. confirmed device and host machine are on same network
5. This results in ionic emulate --livereload ios working
6. run and emulate work WITHOUT --livereload

Here’s my ionic info:  
Cordova CLI: 6.0.0  
Gulp version: CLI version 3.9.0  
Gulp local: Local version 3.9.0  
Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.14

OS: Mac OS X El Capitan

No. After zero response from the ionic team and spending all the time I  
could on digging into it, we just took the hit of iterating with local  
builds.
