[success] iOS looking great! 👌

iOS

The app is stuck on a blank screen for almost 2 minutes if I run it via XCode.

The app should load normally via XCode so that XCode debugging utilities can be used. Waiting each deployment for almost 2 minutes is not a choice.

On the contrary, if I just run ionic capacitor run ios, the app deploys normally without any issues.

npm --version output: 8.4.1

node --version output: v17.5.0

pod --version output (iOS issues only): 1.11.2

macOS: 12.2.1 XCode: 13.2.1 iOS: 15.3.1

Thank you for helping out.

@cappe are you sure your compiled files are generated to dist instead of www ?

To use live reload (ionic cap run ios -l --external) you don’t need to set hostname, you should rather set url property of the server object.

For example:

"server": {
		"url": "http://localhost:8100",
		"cleartext": true,
		"allowNavigation": ["*"]
	}
