Ionic-cli: app stuck on splashscreen when using livereload

[sfabriece]

When I use xcode to run my app, it works. But when i use the terminal for livereload, the app gets stuck on the splashscreen.

ionic run android  --address localhost -l -c

Is there anything that I should be doing when using livereload? Thanks

Could you provide me with the output from ionic info from within your project directory? Thanks, this should help in troubleshooting.

@sfabriece, not sure if this will work for you but it worked for me

1. ensure you have the cordova-plugin-whitelist installed with cordova plugin add
2. insert <allow-navigation href="localhost*"/> into your config.xml file
3. then ionic emulate ios --target="iPhone-5" -l --address localhost to be sure it looks for localhost
   (you can add other flags like the "-l" before it)
   found the solution here:

Hello all! As it seems it has been a while since there was any activity on this issue i will be closing it for now. Feel free to comment if you are still running into this issue. Thanks for using Ionic!

Experiencing the same issue on iOS and Ionic 3 only when using cordova run with livereload. if i don't use livereload it doesn't hang.

this happened when i added ajaxing (http) to my app. I think this should be re-opened, it's a huge problem and it happened the moment I connected my app to an API.

I had a similar problem, the solution was very simple for me: I turned my smartphones' WIFI on. 🤪

This solution worked for me, but I'm wondering what the root of the cause is. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?
