iOS 11 update, adding viewport-fit=cover makes the whole app blank.

See original GitHub issue

I’m working with iPhone 7 plus with iOS 11. After updating to iOS 11, I’ve following the instructions noted at https://blog.ionic.io/ios-11-checklist/, and when I added viewport-fit=cover to my index.html, the whole App loads blank without any apparent errors. Below you will find my Ionic Info, index.html and config.xml for reference.

My ionic info: cli packages: @ionic/cli-utils : 1.13.1 ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.13.2

global packages: cordova (Cordova CLI) : 7.0.1

local packages: @ionic/app-scripts : 2.1.3 Cordova Platforms : ios 4.4.0 Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 3.7.1

System: ios-deploy : 1.9.0 ios-sim : 5.0.12 Node : v7.10.0 npm : 4.2.0 OS : macOS Sierra Xcode : Xcode 9.0 Build version 9A235

Misc: backend : legacy
