Technical Issues I encountered using ionic with ios

By: Ryan Wong at

I’m going list out all technical issues I found while developing ionic framework application for ios.

1.What you see on the emulator is not exactly what you see in real ios device.

2.Make sure to load divs that have ng-show last on the page because the device loads these elements slower resulting in them showing when they shouldn’t.

3.When making your project in ios remember to get the following:

  • provisional profile
  • read device UDID
  • create App ID
  • rename your bundle in config.xml to match your xcode proj one.

4.You cannot use safari to inspect a built ipa app running on the device. Good luck debugging.

5.Really try not to use position absolute CSS on ios because the pixels are not same ratios.
