There currently are issues with emulate and run livereloading. I should have this resolved by end of day. I will keep this thread informed when the release 2.1.9 of CLI occurs which will contain the fix. Thank you for reporting this and your patience.

[jthoms1]

We released a more recent CLI that fixes these issues. Please ensure to install 2.1.12.

npm install -g ionic@latest

livereload works its still bit buggy on ts file changes updates, but that can be managed, the worst part all the server and console logs are gone upon ionic android run -l -c -s, can you point out what to do, its extremely annoying

[mburger81]

@jthoms1 when do you think you will resolve the log issue? It's incredible difficult to develop without this, with version 2.1.8 console log works, but as described in this log the live-reload does not work.
So you have to chose using live reload or console.log but this is very very difficult and hard to develop.

@mburger81 if you are using vscode you can use cordova extension to view the logs additionally see https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-app-scripts/pull/492#issuecomment-264735590 to get liveReload to work

[DhruvGupta5]

@mburger81 its a temporary fix by @pelzerim but works fine

@DhruvGupta5 thx for the link
the problem is,

using ionic cli 2.1.14 with @ionic/app-script 0.0.46 livereload is working out of the box. So the problem is not livereload in my opinion.
My problem is, the console log doesn't work anymore!
