I don’t know if this is the only way to work with --livereload:
If you use ionic cordova run android --livereload with a computer in the wireless internet, you could choose the address to open the server in the mobile’s browser
after use the command in the node, you will notice a few links in the External, at my case is “http://192.168.0.12:8100”, when i acess this link with the mobile’s browser i can use livereload in my android
ohhh
i replied because i thought that you want to add livereload in your mobile
i never used mobile emulator to run ionic app, but you could choose the ip in the third step and open the emulator, then use the browser emulator with the ip which you get in the prompt
I have another solution for you: You could install Atom, they have some package, like “Ionic: Preview” that is one preview for iphone and android experience to you while you code
