White screen for simulator on M1 macbook, using ionic "blank" template

Hey all. I’m struggling to get any project to show up using a simulator. I’ve reduced it down to simply creating the Ionic “blank” template app with the same result. Any specific advice on how to solve or debug this would be appreciated.

Steps:

  1. create “blank” app
  2. cmd> ionic capacitor run ios (selecting iPhone xx simulator)
  3. white screen

Environment info:

  • Macbook Pro (M1)

  • Ionic info

    Ionic CLI : 6.19.0 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@ionic/cli)
    Ionic Framework : @ionic/angular 6.1.8
    @angular-devkit/build-angular : 13.2.6
    @angular-devkit/schematics : 13.2.6
    @angular/cli : 13.2.6
    @ionic/angular-toolkit : 6.1.0

  • Capacitor:

    Capacitor CLI : 3.5.1
    @capacitor/android : not installed
    @capacitor/core : 3.5.1
    @capacitor/ios : 3.5.1

  • Utility:

    cordova-res : not installed globally
    native-run : 1.6.0

  • System:

    NodeJS : v16.14.2 (/usr/local/bin/node)
    npm : 8.5.0
    OS : macOS Monterey

I’m also experiencing this and can confirm that it is happening with both my app and the CLI-created “blank” project.

I would add that for me it is happening only on iOS simulators with iOS 13 and 12. Working fine on iOS 14 and 15 simulators.
