Live update not working on clean app

Hello,

Title pretty much says it all. I’ve searched the forums and found previous topics about this here:

Both topics conclude with changing the dependencies to an older version. However considering we’re much further now I would guess that the newest dependencies work.

  • I made a clean app on App Flow
  • created one with using the given ionic start pro_id=xyz command
  • pushed to remote ionic
  • ran the cordova-ionic-plugin command (UPDATE_METHOD=auto)
  • pushed to remote ionic again
  • created a package (debug android)
  • installed the package on my phone
  • made a change in the code
  • pushed to remote ionic
  • deployed changes on channel
  • Restart app, reboot phone… No updates happen…

The problem HAS to be some kind of wrong configuration or deprecated/wrong dependency.

Here are my ionic info, package.json and config.xml
