Yes, I tried ionic repair and then installed the plugin. Any recommendation would be great!

And yes, environment is as per the list.

[mmubasher]

Please mention your ionic info output in project directory @tusharvikky

[tusharvikky]

@mmubasher Here. I was able to get it running on Android. However, iOS is still hard to debug. All I see is a white screen on app boot.

[mmubasher]

have you tried ionic cordova build ios after removing folders platform and plugins. This issue however does not relates to Opentok plugin

[tusharvikky]

Yes. I have also tried out.

[levidavidmurray]

Only solution that worked for me was rolling Cordova back to version 8.1.2

yarn global add [email protected] or npm install -g [email protected]
