Missing Cordova.js Errors

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I’ve been scratching my head at this for days, I’ve searched GitHub, these forums and the Internet at large to no avail. Here’s the problem I’m having, I run the following command and the following output ensues:

$ ionic run android --device --debug --livereload --consolelogs --serverlogs --address 192.168.42.28
The port  was taken on the host 192.168.42.28 - using port 8000 instead

I’m skipping the Android build output, but no errors there either.

A few things strike me about this output:

  1. The defaults listed for port (8100) and livereload-port (35729) are not being used when I start ionic
  2. The two can’t both run on 8000 as the output suggests (in fact they don’t, live reload is on it’s default port)
  3. Cordova.js is in the output directory (platforms/android/assets/www) which I assume is correct

Also, I noticed that -c and -s no longer work, while -l still does, but I’m much less worried about that.

I’m having the exact same issue. When using ionic run android everything works fine and the app is able to boot cordova up. When i use ionic run android -lc i get this message

Native: tried calling StatusBar.styleDefault, but Cordova is not available. Make sure to include cordova.js or run in a device/simulator

And it will get thrown for every cordova plugin call as cordova is not loaded on the device in livereload mode?
