Ionic-cli: Livereload won't reload in Xcode 9 iPad-Air simulator

[KevinBeckers]

Description:
IOS Simulator doesn't seems to reload with live reloading.
This happend after updating to Xcode9.
The console prints output like:

[INFO] [11:28:05] www/css/ionic.app.css changed
[INFO] [11:28:06] www/css/ionic.app.min.css changed
[INFO] [11:28:06] www/js/main.min.js changed

Beside's off that the live reloading works in the browser. ( I checkt this by visiting the server url ).

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Upgrade to Xcode 9
2. Run ionic cordova emulate ios --target="iPad-Air" -lc

@KevinBeckers I can't seem to reproduce this issue. I've tried iPhone X and iPad-Air simulator with Xcode 9.

Are you seeing any network errors? You can open Safari debug tools to see

[KevinBeckers]

Safari console is empty doesn't seem to respond either.
I can't see any error of any kind. What is you ios-sim version?

[imhoffd]

If the Safari console isn't responding, this might be a bigger issue. Do you get any console.log entries in your terminal? (add one when your app boots up) You're using -c, so it should print console logs.

I have to cd platforms/ios/cordova and npm i ios-sim@latest otherwise I get this error:

Device type "com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.undefined" could not be found.

I'm using 6.1.2.

[KevinBeckers]

No there is no logging in the console. I placed the log in a $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
Is used the following command:
ionic cordova emulate ios --target="iPad-Air" -lc

I also updated ionic cli:
3.10.3 => 3.12.0

[KevinBeckers]

Looks like the problem is with --target="iPad-Air".
The 'iPhone-X' and 'iPad-Air-2' simulators are working fine...
I will test more devices soon.

Odd. I got it to work with the iPad-Air target.
