Whitelist plugin not working

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi all,

In my app I have installed the cordova -whitelist-plugin, and I have added

<access origin="*" />
In config.xm (it also includes <plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" spec="^1.3.2" />)
Still, when I run ionic serve or ionic cordova run android -l , I get the error

I tried deleting all node_modules, platforms and plugins and installing them again, but it does not work.

Does anybody have any idea how I can tackle the problem?

This has nothing to do with whitelist.

Read the error message it gives you and add that header to the requested resource. This will probably only be a problem on testing in the browser but not on the device. You can work around it (partly, but for your use case it should be enough) by using Services Proxies of the CLI: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli#service-proxies

Thanks for your answer. Hmmm I see. So In order to make calls to an API (the Github API for example), I should either add a proxy or ensure that the appropriate header is present? And, as I understand, Is this a browser matter and not an Ionic one?

Second one - make sure the headers are there.

It’s worse in the browser.
Depending on the kind of request you will also get a CORS error (browser and native), which will also be solved via an added header.
