Crash on boot with "Couldn't load runtime config from index file"

[jasonschock]

I'm attempting to upgrade from from Meteor 1.5 to 1.6.1 (I need the latest version of cordova-android). Currently using Meteor 1.6.1-beta.11.

App is hanging at splash screen on startup. Obvious error I'm seeing is this: 2017-11-30 16:58:18.036069-0800 dev[1101:404950] Couldn't load runtime config from index file.

Full logs from Xcode below. How can I help troubleshoot this?

[jasonschock]

And same problem on Android, FWIW.

[bmanturner]

Also experiencing this. Was fine in 1.6.

[jasonschock]

This is persisting for me in 1.6.1 beta 14, as well.

[benjamn]

Did you try updating to Meteor 1.6 first, to verify everything worked with the stable release?

[bmanturner]

Yes. Works perfectly fine on 1.6 (except for an unrelated issue on iOS 9 that I'm still working out).

[macrozone]

that is probably related to meteor/meteor#9521 which has been fixed by latest rc

[jasonschock]

Seems to be fixed for me — currently on RC 8. 👍

@hwillson closing this issue seems the way to go :)
