Meteor run android-device in development mode

Question

When I run the following command meteor run android-device I app loads on the device, but I cannot login or perform any action, and I get the following error message :

I20160125-16:26:04.688(2) (android:http://meteor.local/:0) XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://192.168.20.41:3000/sockjs/info?cb=pp4d6iodxu. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://meteor.local' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 403.

My phone is in developer mode, and I'm debugging (or attempting to) via USB.

As I already mentioned, the app is loading, but I'm dead from there.

Answer 1

Try to add App.accessRule("*"); to /mobile-config.js

Answer 2

After trying a number of things, including setting up another demo app, multiple restarts, setting up browser policies and tons of access Rules etc, it finally began to work. The things I tried:

• plenty of accessRules in the mobile config
• Browser Policy Package with standard rules
• temporarily setting environmental variables for root url etc.

So in order to figure out what specifically caused the issue I began to work backwards removing things, until I removed ALL OF IT. and then it still worked.

I have tried for two weeks to replicate the issue now, and everything is working smoothly. Putting this down to a random bug, in my system, there are definitely more than a few people that have hit it.

The only thing I think I could have missed is a package update, that patched some package in the dependency tree that caused the whole thing to bomb on mobile.
