[SOLVED] Capacitor livereload not working

Capacitor livereload not working

I can't figure out how to use livereload with ionic 4 and Capacitor on ios.

I'm running this command ionic cap run ios -l which add my local ip address to capacitor.config.json.

however, it seems like I'm missing something in here.

Note: according to Provide live-reload functionality #3130 this should work.

my environment setup:

Ionic:

   ionic (Ionic CLI)          : 4.1.0 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic)

   Ionic Framework            : @ionic/angular 4.0.0-beta.2

   @angular-devkit/core       : 0.7.3

   @angular-devkit/schematics : 0.7.3

   @angular/cli               : 6.1.3

   @ionic/ng-toolkit          : 1.0.6

   @ionic/schematics-angular  : 1.0.5

Capacitor:

   capacitor (Capacitor CLI) : 1.0.0-beta.6

   @capacitor/core           : 1.0.0-beta.6

System:

   NodeJS : v9.10.1 (/usr/local/bin/node)

   npm    : 6.4.0

   OS     : macOS High Sierra

Solution

Thanks to Julio Cesar form ionic team for pointing this out, this turned to be a bug in Capacitor which has a PR already github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/pull/741 and github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/pull/742
