#meteor ionic starter

A starter example of Meteor, Angular and Ionic. Will try to stay in line with the latest releases.

Uses ui-router in Angular for client side routing and (optionally) Picker for server side routing.

##Steps ###Web

  1. Create the project meteor create meteor-ionic-starter - ensure you are working with Meteor 1.2.0.1+.
  2. Add the official Meteor Ionic package meteor add driftyco:ionic
  3. Add the angular package meteor add angular
  4. Remove boilerplate code from the .js file and add with new code.
  5. Ensure 'angular-meteor' as added as a dependent module.
  6. [Optionl] Server soide routing meteor add meteorhacks:picker
  7. Run in the terminal as meteor

###Android

  1. Using the Android SDK Manager, ensure you have SDK Platform 23+ installed.
  2. Install the meteor Android SDK meteor install-sdk android
  3. Add as a platform meteor add-platform android
  4. Create an Android AVD (terminal - "android avd") and ensure that "Use Host GPU" in the Emulation Options is checked.
  5. Run meteor run android

###iOS

  1. Install the meteor iOS SDK meteor install-sdk ios
  2. Add as a platform meteor add-platform ios.
  3. Run this meteor run ios

Note that if you are on iOS 9, it will work for this demo, but you will get connection exceptions in the console log due to Apple's new App Transport Security [1], which requires an SSL connection to the server (meteor typically using http://localhost:3000 etc.).

To solve this error in development you have a couple of (non-optimal for development) options as outlined in [2].

For the purposes of this demo, i did the following :

  • Navigate to meteor-ionic-starter/.meteor/local/cordova-build/platforms/ios/meteor-ionic-starter
  • Open meteor-ionic-starter-Info.plist in a text editor
  • Inside (as a child element) the first <dict> element add the following:
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
  <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
      <true/>
</dict>
  • Run this meteor run ios

Please note you absolutely should not use the wildcard in in production as Apple will likely reject your app [3]. Ideally use only secure endpoints, but if that is not possible, add per-domain exceptions [2] rather than a wildcard.
