Also tried with the ionic serve --address=192.168.0.2

Hey all, these errors are poorly displayed. They simply mean the DevApp broadcast didn't work on one of the network interfaces, which is okay--connectivity with the DevApp should still work and this by no means affects ionic serve itself.

I will add a task to cleanup the error messages.

@ohrrkan @dwieeb have you try adding --local to your cmd? respectively ionic serve --local?

according the CHANGELOG of 3.16.0 this option will disable the external network broadcast and therefore you should avoid this error

Same error, fixed by reverting to 3.15.2:

npm uninstall -g ionic
npm install -g ionic@3.15.2

[imhoffd]

As I explained, it's a meaningless and non-fatal error. There is no reason to downgrade or add flags.

[jQrgen]

True, but my eyes are bleeding from all the red Error messages in the console x)

• seems to be loading very slowly in browser, staying on 3.15.2 for now.

@peterpeterparker but then you don't see the app in DevApp anymore :)

[peterpeterparker]

@mmolhoek understood

Do someone has the problem that the serve don't loads in your default browser? In my case Chrome is the default browser but safari is loaded instead
