Cordova iOS app shows white screen

If you are trying to convert your angular, react or Vuejs (JS) application to an iOS app, you may face the white screen on startup and nothing happens that. I was also facing the same and spend many days in debuging. 

There may be many reasons, but 1 of the major and usually happening reason is the "cordova plugin ionic webview". 

 

You may have installed the outdated version of this plugin or the plugin is not there in your project at all. 

you can run the following commands to fix that:

1. cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-ionic-webview

2. cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-ionic-webview@latest

 

The first command will remove the buggy plugin if it exists and doesn't do anything if it is not there.

The second command will add the latest webview plugin to your project. Just re-build your project and everything should be fine.
