Sencha touch iOS run shows black screen on simulator

I've created a simple sencha touch app to test on my iOS simulator, and when I run it I get a black screen on my simulator. Here are the steps I took:

  1. npm install -g cordova
  2. sencha -sdk /path/to/SenchaTouch generate app MyApp /path/to/MyApp
  3. obtained a certificate, identify devices, and got an AppID.
  4. sencha cordova init com.example.TestApp TestApp
  5. Edited app.json and added: "platforms": "ios”,
  6. sencha app build -run native

When I run sencha App build -run native I get the iOS simulator to come up and display nothing but a black screen and the safari app. However when I run the sencha cmd server and go to http://localhost:80/ to test my app it runs fine.

What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Solution

  • Fixed, I eventually found out how to run it on my device using the xcode project that cordova built for me in its iOS folder.

    Note: if I use xcode to run it on my emulator it also works now too, just didn't when I tried to run it with sencha app run native
