Ionic 4 run on IOS

I have been building an app using Ionic 4 and capacitor - all works great when running locally.

Instructions

However when i try and run it in xcode (following the instructions), it runs the tabs template with none of my application features. Literally the bare template - it seems like its not copying the files over to the build.

Anyone know why this is happening?

I have a similar issue. On windows and android, the blank app provided by the cli gives a white screen after the splashscreen…
you can see it here

simple solution for my problem which is not made clear - running npm build before any of the other commands fixes it

Didn’t you maybe forget to run ‘npx cap copy’ after your last build?
