Ionic emulate ios shows black screen

I am playing around with the Ionic Framework. Using the default tabs starter project, Ionic is able to both serve (via ionic serve) as well as emulate iOS (via ionic build ios and ionic emulate ios). However, as soon as I start to provide my own implementations, Ionic is not able to emulate the app and shows a black screen. Serving in the browser is still working fine. No errors are displayed.

I have seen the answers to this question, but this seems to be a) another problem and b) no working solution is provided. Is anyone experiencing similar problems? I am using Xcode Version 6.1 (6A1052d) on OS X Version 10.9.5 as well as:

$ ios-sim --version
3.0.0
$ cordova --version
4.0.0
$ ionic --version
1.2.8

I've been troubling with same problem too and found that the main reason is javascript error. You should check if there is cracked link or javascript fault, and then reset the simulator, clean code run again..

Hope it helps.

I got the same black screen when running in iOS but not in web browser. The issue for me was in app.js where the url routing was done, the templateUrl started with a "/folderNameUnderWWW/fileName.tpl.html" after making it "folderNameUnderWWW/fileName.tpl.html" it showed the proper screen on iOS emulator
