No cordva plugins. there were no errors in the network but now I’m having XMLHttpRequest CORS errors again, after adding crosswalk I deleted the build so it would rebuild itself. This sucks, I think I’m going to stick with 1.2.1 until I can figure this out. Have no issues with 1.2.1
Just had an idea: Do you override the generated config.xml through the cordova-build-override mechanism maybe? That would explain this, because you would be missing the right access rules (in particular <allow-navigation> for http://localhost:12088).
No, could the mdg:camera cause issues?

</widget>No, I don’t think mdg:camera would be causing this. There are a lot of packages in there I don’t know, so one of those might be causing trouble, but there is nothing that jumps out.
Googling ‘The connection to the server was unsuccessful’ and Cordova does turn up one other thing we could try. It turns out Cordova has its own timeout mechanism that could be triggered by a really slow load.
Could you try adding this to your mobile-config.js:
App.setPreference("LoadUrlTimeoutValue", 60000);

That did the Trick !!! Thank you so much

Great, I’m glad that helped! But worried that it is needed, which means page load was taking over 20 seconds. Has this always been that slow?
No, I’m not sure what is holding it back. I haven’t migrated to imports style yet but will do soon.
I don’t think imports will help with this.
Are you using any external resources (scripts, stylesheets, fonts, etc.) as part of your app, that would have to be loaded from a remote server?
Yes, stripe,stripe checkout, Facebook connect , bootstrap
I don’t know how those are added to the page, but if you have the ability to change script tags to async (making sure to only access those features when the scripts have been loaded), that might make a huge difference in startup time.
And for bootstrap, it would make more sense to add it locally (there are packages for that) instead of downloading it from a CDN (if that is indeed what you are doing).

True, I’ll fix the bootstrap one ASAP. I’ll look into stripe, that one has always been a bit of pain.
