I haven't investigated this yet, but this plugin presumably downloads app files (HTML/JS/CSS) from a server and replaces the app with the downloaded files, just like how Ionic Deploy works in Ionic Pro. Is this happening during development?

Livereload also instructs Cordova running on the app or emulator where to find app files. It uses a server to host files at an http:// URL instead of the traditional file:/// URL of Cordova apps.

I assume these two strategies are conflicting.
