Application Error: The connection to the server has been unsuccessful (http://localhost:12224)

Hello Meteor community.

When there is no or a very bad Internet connection, I am getting the following error message on Android devices (also see screenshot). I have seen this also on very slow (older) Android devices.

Application Error: The connection to the server has been unsuccessful (http://localhost:12224)

This happens after my app has started. After the splash screen hides, I show a loading screen until my data is ready. While this loading screen is shown, the error modal pops up. When I close this modal, the app closes.

It seems that Meteor fails to start the local web-server when there is no connection. After I have a working connection again and start the app, everything works fine.

Is this a bug or is there something I could do to prevent this?

I am using Meteor 1.3.2.4.

Same here. This happens even on wifi sometimes and my users have to restart the app. Any ideas?

Bump. Meteor 1.4.1 on a crappy old device running XWalk

Maybe you should try to add App.setPreference('LoadUrlTimeoutValue', 60000, 'android'); in moble-config.js

It looks like this happens because the device is starting waaaaaaaay too slowly.

Same here on Meteor 1.5.
