Hello ionicers, I just updated my iphone to iOS9 and I also upgraded to XCode7. After reading this post, I applied this patch [https://gist.github.com/IgorMinar/863acd413e3925bf282c](https://gist.github.com/IgorMinar/863acd413e3925bf282c) I added the JS file to my lib folder and I added the following line in my index.html bellow the Ionic bundle line: ``` ``` I also added it to my angular module in app.js: ``` angular.module('your_app_name', [ 'ionic', 'ngCordova', 'ngIOS9UIWebViewPatch' ]) ``` Now the result: When I run: _ionic run ios -l --device_ It compiles fine but gives me a big white page and no log, no error. When I try with XCode the build Failed with the following error: _clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)_ Does anyone have the same issues? Cheers, Hervé ---

You may need to run `ionic platform rm ios && ionic platform add ios` just to be sure ---

Yes I did remove and add the iOS platform. ---

UPDATE: I was able to fix my XCode errors and now it compiles fine but act like the ionic run ios command. And it gives me an error: ``` 2015-09-17 12:04:01.963 Tree The World[395:70721] App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource load since it is insecure.

Sounds like the google maps plugin is the cause of the problem? Try removing the plugin and see if it builds ---

After removing the google map plugins, I am still getting the same error. ---

This is how I fixed those issues. Find this file: platforms/ios/[your-app-name]/[your-app-name]-Info.plist And add the following: ``` NSAppTransportSecurity NSAllowsArbitraryLoads ``` But the app is still running kind of slow with the ionic run command and the Xcode is only giving me a blank page with no error. It does not look like ionic is really ready for today’s Apple updates. H ---

Even after applying this quick patch, my apps is very slow and very buggy and it’s not because of my plugins. I removed all of them. Sometimes it hangs for no reason. No log, no error. The app never acted this way before the iOS9 update. The update obviously broke more than some $http redirects. **Does Ionic plan to answer all those issues concerning the update with iOS9?** **What’s the plan of action?** H ---

The major issue on my side is the fact that the app is very very slow, randomly with no error. So it’s very hard to pinpoint the problem. For example, my app hangs for a few seconds before it even starts and some simple page like a login page will take forever to load, again for no reason. **Am I the only one to experience those issues?** ---

Thanks @colllin but does your app work like usual after fixing all the errors? ---

Yes, it eventually works the same. I upgraded ionic lib and re-installed angular-resource, and various other upgrades since I haven’t touched this code in 6 months, but I didn’t need to change any of the app code. ---

My problem is not the patch. I can confirm it’s well installed and it is fixing the angular problem. But still, my app is much more slower than before I updated to iOS9. For example, after the splash screen, the first page used to take one second to load, now it takes around 10 seconds to load. Am I the only one to experience this slow experience issue? ---

It runs well in my project after the fixed. You can try to remove the splash plugin, or set the delay time to the default 3000ms. ---
