Simulator shows Black screen using ionic

I finally found a solution to fix this problem First setup your application:

1- ionic start myAppname tabs

2- cd myAppname

3- ionic platform add iOS

4- ionic build ios

Then create a file in your projects directory called emulator.sh or whatever name and copy the content of the code below:

echo "Emulating..."cd ./platforms/ios/build/emulatorvar=$(pwd)ios-sim launch "$var"/*.app

Set permission for the script: $sudo chmod 777 emulator.sh

whenever you want to emulate your application run the script: ./emulator.sh

so by using this script you don't need to manually open the project in Xcode and run the project

Are you running the ionic command from inside a tmux session? tmux seems to be preventing the communication between cordova and the iOS simulator. As soon as I tried running the ionic/cordova emulate ios commands directly from the terminal, it worked just fine!

I was having the same issue and was able to resolve it by:

• Open Xcode
• In the Xcode > Open Developer Tool > iOS Simulator
• iOS Simulator > Reset Content and Settings
• Restart Mac (uncheck open all windows)

Godspeed.
