Issues with meteor.local when developing on mobile

[rclai]

I'm trying to get this to work with mobile and for some reason http://meteor.local:9090/assets/client.bundle.js is not getting me the actual bundle script but is rather giving me the entire HTML mark-up of a Meteor app, which is not right. I had to hard-code the script embed in loadClientBundle.html to the DDP server's host address (i.e. 192.168.1.123:9090/assets/client.bundle.js), in order for it to work properly.

I've never heard of this meteor.local thing being possible, is there documentation for it anywhere? I'd have to know how exactly it works to offer any support. Is this for Cordova? Whenever I've tested on mobile (though not Cordova) I type my dev machine's IP address into the URL bar (e.g. http://192.168.1.123:3000) and that works.

Yes, when you fire up a Meteor Cordova app, the host designated is meteor.local, it's how they implemented it. We'd have to dig into the code to see how that works.

Check this out.

I guess we can detect meteor.local on loadClientBundle.html, but then we'd have to somehow get the host of the DDP server somehow.
