Ionic-framework: ionic emulate ios stuck on splash screen

[maxlam79]

I notice a very consistent behaviour when it comes to emulating on iOS, it was stuck in the splash screen after ionic emulate iOS and I can't even get the app running, not even going into the code section of $ionicPlatform.ready( function () {...});

I'm running on Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.4 (with Xcode and xcode-select installed)

Steps to reproduce:
1) ionic start EmulatorCrash
2) cd EmulatorCrash
3) ionic platform rm ios
4) ionic platform add ios
5) ionic build ios
6) ionic emulate ios -cls --target=iPhone-6s-Plus

This will run the iPhone-6s-Plus emulator but will be stuck in the splash screen.

try updating ios-sim and ios-deploy from npm, I had the same problem with was resolved by updating those 2

[maxlam79]

updated both ios-sim and ios-deploy with:

sudo npm update -g ios-sim
sudo npm update -g ios-deploy

Run the steps to reproduce. Same problem...

Hello @wargun02 ! Thanks for opening an issue with us! Are you only having this issue when using the ios simulator? Or does it also happen on a device?

[maxlam79]

Its with the simulator. Please read the steps to reproduce above.

I have no iPhone 6s Plus to check on this, the closes I could try is on my iPad Air (which I have yet to check).

[maxlam79]

I have found the issue. This is all due to the fact that the raw startup project structure doesn't have

<allow-navigation href="*" />

in the config.xml. I wouldn't know if this is the right place to report this bug or should this be reported in https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-app-base

To remedy, just go through the steps to reproduce and before hitting on ionic build ios, just insert the

<allow-navigation href="*" />

to the config.xml file.

Hey! Glad you found the issue! Can you report this to app-base please? Thanks for using Ionic!

[jgw96]

Hey! Im gonna go ahead and close this issue as it is not a bug with the ionic framework directly. Thanks for using Ionic!

[maxlam79]

@jgw96. Thanks for attending to this, you may close this issue.

I have tried to submit this issue to app-base, but they've disabled the "issues" for that repo. So, perhaps I'll just leave this issue reporting to anyone from ionic who's in-charged to app-base.
