Ionic app wont load in IOS simulator (The App Server is not running)

Ionic Framework
1

Hi Guys,

I am currently working on an Ionic 3 project, this project builds and works fine on IOS devices and Android Device, however when I use any IOS simulator using xCode or using the Ionic emulate command, I get the error below.

I have tried to run prod builds, removed IOS and added again, I have enabled COREs on my server etc, and search the net but nothing seems to come up!

Something similar happed to me as well. That is when I ran the app on the browser and emulator at the same time using the same port number. Maybe it’s unrelated, I don’t know.

Hi, thank you for your reply, I have tried this also, stopped the ionic serve, and then ran the emulator, however same issue, I will test this further by stopping docker and seeing if that helps

Looks like it was my Docker that was causing the issue, I stopped all my docker instances and that fixed the issue, thank you
