Hi,

I want to run my code on Ionic DevApp.

Ionic serve not working on ionic CLI 3.16. Ionic stops after completing the query.

Ionic starts working when I run code `npm run ionic:serve` or `npm run ionic:serve --verbose`

but I want to run my code on DevApp but it will only work when ionic serve will run.

Here is the ionic serve result:

```auto
$ ionic serve
Starting app-scripts server: --address 0.0.0.0 --port 8100 --livereload-port 35729 --dev-logger-port

     DevApp: @8100 on MyComputer

```

And here is my Ionic info.

```auto
$ ionic info
