It’s

No, We could do nothing with this problem.

This worked very well for me on iOS. Haven’t tried android yet.

Too bad,
It’s a shamed that we couldn’t do anything about this.
I have to switch to ionic for Mobile app and drop live-update feature of meteor.

Wish that any meteorers could help me solve this. I don’t need the update-to-date version of meteor, just try to find the one that work as supposed as it should be. This is some of annoyed issues that I’ve been faced. I can live with the others but not with this one. Obvious, Users can’t accept this long loading white screen.

I face the same issue for months and never found a solution for this problem.

Do you also use angular + ionic? Have you tried to disable your plugins to see if any of it causes the long loading time?

Btw. you can also use meteor features with ionic. I built the app from this tutorial https://www.angular-meteor.com/tutorials/whatsapp2 but got also a bad startup time (> 6 sec for android).

@marc2,

Yes, I learned from that tutor and I even try their others tutor (socially), downloaded it, built it and put it on my android device. Still the same, long loading time.
And it seems like they’re focussing on angular2 now than trying to fix this issue.
I’m not an expert, I’m just a learner. So It really bothers me that why they didn’t see that issue for such a long time. But hey, live and learn.

Right now I’m using only Ionic for my simple solutions/apps. The hard part that I have to create a backend for every project and It can’t, you know, live loading data.

So your ionic app loads faster? Does it get slower when you start to use the meteor-client and meteor-angular package?
I try to understand which part of the app causes the slow loading.

[mnchau]

I’ve created pure Ionic project, not anything related to meteor. That’s why I have to create my own backend for those apps.

On ionic project the Android and iOS device load the same, show launch screen and fast enough.

This worked perfect on iOS. Thanks.
My previous answer worked on my androids. Interesting…

I believe the problem is modules bloating

Ridiculously slow startup time on Meteor iOS Cordova application (LocalMarket)?

My debugging of our app shows that most time is spent loading the different javascript modules which is significantly slower on mobile than on web, since the introduction of npm there are tons of dependencies that accumulate with each utility package you add, plus it seems to me there’s no distinction between npm packages used on server only,so they are also packaged with the client code. also meteor modules not specifying correctly dependencies required for server only might be causing clien…
