I picked up Ionic a couple of weeks ago to start developing an app. Everything was going swimmingly until this afternoon when my xcode updated and with it iOS in my simulator. Now when I try to run (in the simulator - I don’t have a real iOS device to try) or emulate on ios with live reload (“ionic run ios -l -c” or “ionic emulate ios -l -c”), the app gets stuck on the splash screen (I’ve tried this with a blank build of ionic tabs from the examples and this exhibits the same behaviour).
If I run or emulate without live reload, the app launches, however there appear to be issues relating to $http, angular google maps and navigator.geolocation - I’m unable to work out exactly what the issue is without live reload and the console.
Hrm. I’ve updated my AngularJS to 1.4.6 (which includes a fix for window.location), and then added the transport security entry to my plist, I’m still seeing this issue.
Any ideas how to debug this? There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly relevant to launching the simulator other than this, which googling implies is not a new error, and not related:

What exactly do you mean by ‘fails’?
Also, you might want to issue the command with two more options: -c -s
for both console and local app server logs.
@zarko When I do ionic emulate -slc ios it never prints anything on the console, never requests any files, and the emulator just spins on my launch screen.
If I then run from Xcode after doing a -l so that the build is still configured to use live reload, I get this output in the logs (I’ve enabled the “VerboseLog” in CDVWebViewDelegate.m):

I can confirm that the NSAppTransportSecurity entry is correct in the .plist file (it’s being added by https://github.com/mhartington/cordova-config-utils which Mike Hartington pointed me to on Slack and seems to work swimmingly). Even with that, I never get much in the way of output. Trying to debug where it’s actually failing drops me into assembler outside of Cordova’s stuff that I can’t follow.
A bit hard to say what the problem could be @RangerRick. I’d be guessing so instead I would recommend you take back a step and try with the simplest possible template app:
ionic start -a BlankApp blankapp blank
If live reload doesn’t work with it then at least you will limit the scope of your troubleshooting.
p.s. My own setup doesn’t depends of fiddling with XCode, all goes well when working on command line.
I did install Xcode 7 and then upgrade to El Capitan. I wonder if there’s something weird going on there. I’ll try removing Xcode and reinstalling and see if that helps.
(Excuse the deleted post, gotta stop logging in to my other account in another tab. )
@zarko Yeaaaah, something weird is definitely going on. Re-installed Xcode. Made a blank app. Deleted ~/.ionic. Did an npm install -g ionic cordova bower ios-sim ios-deploy just to make sure everything was fresh.
Still won’t load.
I also tried “ionic emulate --address=localhost -slc ios” to see if it’s an address thing.
I also tried adding this to the info.plist just to be sure, and it’s still a no-go:
Well here’s an interesting nugget that I can’t believe I didn’t try before now… It works on my real device. Did ionic run -slc —device ios and it launches properly on my iPhone 6, and I get logs to the console.
I have tried almost everything… fresh builds, fixing hostnames, enabling/disabling IPv6, re-downloading Xcode, blowing away and re-configuring simulators. It’s some kind of environmental bug. I spent some time going through ideas with one of the Ionic guys and we’re both stumped. At this point I’m going to just keep using a real device for development and hope that someone upstream finally figures out what’s going on…
Same here, also tried EVERYTHING, updated ios-sim and ios-deploy as well, tried different cordova-ios versions also, also using angular 1.4.6 but also with the io9patch since I still noticed issues with the routing eventhough it should have been fixed in 1.4.6 (which is probably not the case).
But with the -l flag I can still get the instance running, but the livereloading does not work at all…
It is really slowing my dev-cycle down like crazy whished I didnt updated everything to ios9 and xcode7.
One thing i did not see yet here is the cordova whitelist plugin, it doesn’t load since the cordova-ios version is nog yet ‘4’.
So you need to add
to your config.xml and re-add the ios platform, or use ionic state reset
this will probably let you use the -l flag again, but the livereloading itself won’t work
EDIT: It’s working now - I also REMOVED this from my Index.html
So with the WORKING whitelist plugin, <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key><true/> in my Info.plist and the index.html security rule removed Livereloading is working again in the Simulator.
One little problem is still there; running the emulator with ionic emulate always results in a black screen - but after doing a content reset and not closing the emulator after the first run, it continues to work, but I do need to reset the content each first run.
I have the same issue after updating el capitan & ios 9, Actually if you see the console log on the safari(no port number displayed in the safari developer menu so i need to choose the blank port) it reads ‘nativeEvalAndFetch : ReferenceError: Can’t find variable: cordova’. But the issue disappears when i connect to the VPN network. After i connected to the VPN network it asks me to choose the port then i choose the VPN port(which reads pppo). Good luck.
