Ionic Live Reload Unable to Load App on Android Phone

Question

I'm trying to run Ionic Live Reload, connecting to my phone using this command:

$ ionic cap run android -l --external

When I run the app in Android studio, the phone shows a white screen and the message:

Unable to load app. Are you sure the server is running at http://192.168.1.59:8100?

I opened the port 8100 with no result (I'm using Ubuntu):

$ sudo ufw allow 8100

I read all the articles about connections problem, buy I couldn't find a solution.

Answer 1

It was a very silly problem, but perhaps this answer is useful for someone making the same mistake:

I just was connected to different wireless networks. So, I connected my phone and notebook to the same Wifi connection and that solved the problem instantly.
