Ionic 4 - Ionic 5.0.0 CLI - Livereload to device not working - freezing at splash screen

Description: I would like to be able to serve the app to my physical iPhone plugged into my Macbook with console logs to the terminal and not the DevApp. It appears by the docs and change logs that should be possible, but it was not getting past the splash screen. I have tried ionic cordova run ios -l, ionic cordova run ios --livereload, ionic cordova run ios --device -l --address=0.0.0.0, ionic cordova run ios --device -l --address=0.0.0.0 -disableHostCheck, etc. I was copying the exact commands from the CLI release note docs. I have tried with a physical device and simulator. The building is not the issue. It is when it goes to run it on the device that it hangs up. I am able to ionic cordova run ios no problem without live reload. I am also able to ionic cordova build ios and then open it in XCode and run it no problem there. It would be great to get this resolved and I would be happy to provide any info that is needed.

I finally got it to build and got things updated and installed and the Livereload is not working. For a while I was getting an error that said nodeModule is null. I resolved that issue and both ionic cordova run ios and cordova run ios are launching the app. When I try ionic cordova run ios -l or --livereload it acts like it is building and no errors but it hangs on the splashscreen and won’t go beyond that. I have been testing with this a majority of the day and has been difficult to nail down the issues. It also appears that the Legacy or New Build system in iOS is no longer important to it being able to build. I also tried the clearing the network settings on my iPhone and got a new Trust pop up that I accepted. It seemed to get closer after I did that but would stay loading on the splash screen. Yes I am using Angular.

I got it to at least get past the splash screen but only on iOS emulator, NOT device, and there is no console logging with any of it.

Output:

With Ionic CLI 5.0.1 with this command, I was able to live reload and console log to my iPhone device connected to my computer. ionic cordova run ios -l --address=0.0.0.0 --consolelogs

Thanks!

@bnallmaster Let’s debug. I want to try to tackle the biggest issue first: getting past the splash screen.

Please try running ionic cordova run ios -l --no-native-run.
