In Project navigator, select the project root to open the project editor.See the Cordova documentation for more information.įor Capacitor, run the following to open the app in Xcode:įor Cordova, open Xcode. Generate the native project, if it does not already exist.įor Capacitor, open the file and modify the appId property.įor Cordova, open the config.xml file and modify the id attribute of the root element. Project Setupīefore apps can be deployed to iOS simulators and devices, the native project must be configured. The Xcode approach is generally more stable, but the Ionic CLI approach offers live-reload functionality. There are two workflows for running Ionic apps on iOS: Running with Xcode and Running with the Ionic CLI.
#Ionic livereload device how to
This file does the magic for the taco-cli to understand it as a taco app and exposes all the benefits of taco-cli’s to the existing application.This guide covers how to deploy Ionic apps to iOS simulators and devices using Capacitor or Cordova. Its very easy and simple to add this feature to your existing hybrid app (which wasn’t created using taco-cli) by just adding a “ taco.json” at the root folder of your app.
How do I get this feature working for my existing hybrid app ? Please note that, the path to be mentioned should be relative to the “www” folder, only then those files will be ignored! Taco emulate ios -livereload -ignore=/**/*.css
What files does it watch and how to add exclusions ?īy default, all the files present under the “For e.g., the below command will ignore any changes in any css files within the “www” and its subfolders and it will not do any livereload I did encounter issues while connecting to the browser sync in emulator for the first time, but re-running the command did the trick for me and got everything set In the above video, the change was done in the text “ Live reload demo…” to read it as “ Live reload demo from device…”Īs you can see in both the videos, the moment app is launched in the emulator or device in live reload mode, it gets connected to the BrowserSync module which is responsible in performing the live reload. To showcase it in action, I have created a short video where a very basic change in the JS file triggers live reload in the emulator and the device File changed: /Users/z066157/SampleProjects/TacoCliSampels/firstTacoCliAPp/www/scripts/index.js Upon saving the edited file, you should be seeing the below in your console, and app already reloaded in the emulator. Serving files from: /Users/z066157/SampleProjects/TacoCliSampels/firstTacoCliAPpĪfter these the usual Cordova emulation process will start and emulate your app on the iOS Simulator. So what difference does it make from the usual emulation process? If you notice the output just after running the above command, you should see the below set of lines, Notice the switch in the end ` –livereload` that notifies the taco-cli to start the emulation in a live reload fashion. To enable live reloading, you just need to run the below command from the root folder of your taco app Yes, without undergoing the entire process of Cordova build, your HTML/JS/CSS changes will live reload in the emulator/device. So, quite naturally as I explore the taco-cli I was looking for this very same feature and its been made super cool and more exciting, as with taco-cli you can enable live reload for the apps running on emulator and device as well. Since then, I always look forward to have live reload of any app/website I develop on. I got introduced to this feature as I started exploring the awesome Ionic framework. How cool and fast it will be to see the change you make almost instantaneously? That’s where live reload helps. That definitely boosts our productivity, waiting for the whole build process to complete to see that one line of change you made is really painful. I am great fan of live reload stuffs in web/hybrid app development. Now that the app is bootstrapped and ready for us to work on, its time to explore other CLI features which help us on our day-to-day development.
In the previous posts, we learned about creating a new application using taco-cli and building the iOS app using remote build.
