Ionic-cli: Viewing ionic serve from network

[DominikVogt]

So i updated my ionic CLI and now i cannot access the ionic server from outside my computer.

Ionic CLI is out of date:

• Locally installed version: 1.3.11
• Latest version: 1.3.17

Before i was reaching the server from my iphone, but now i cannot view it anymore. On 1.3.11 it was enabled. What do i need to configure?

What I did was made the serve command focus on a specific address instead of listening to all addresses on 0.0.0.0.

What address are you choosing to run the server at? If you're running and listening only to localhost, then your phone wont be able to see it.

Does ionic serve --address 192.168.1.101 with your IP entered allow it to keep working?

This doesnt fix the problem.

I'm also having this problem after updating Ionic CLI. I used to be able to use my phone to access Ionic projects being served locally by pointing my phone's browser to the IP address of the machine running the Ionic server (eg. 192.168.1.X:8100) but with the new CLI this no longer works.

No fix yet?

Currently in the beta release for 1.4.0, there will be an option to serve on all addresses.

ionic serve --all

Try it out - npm install -g ionic@extlib

works like a charm!

npm install -g ionic@extlib
ionic serve --all
this works fine!

Ionic 4 with Angular 7/8 use:

ionic serve --address=0.0.0.0
or if you want to change the port as well
ionic serve --address=0.0.0.0 --port=8102
