I'm submitting a ... (check one with "x") [x] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] support request => Please do not submit support requests here, use one of these channels: https://forum.ionicframework.com/ or http://ionicworldwide.herokuapp.com/

Current behavior:

Getting a cordova not available error with a brand new app running in the android emulator.

Native: tried calling StatusBar.styleDefault, but Cordova is not available. Make sure to include cordova.js or run in a device/simulator

Expected behavior: Cordova to "just work" when a new ionic app is created.

Steps to reproduce:

ionic start ionic2_test --v2
ionic platform add android
ionic emulate android -lcs

Update

I've realized this only happens in live reload mode (with the -l flag). Everything seems fine without that. Maybe this is the intended behavior (although it's kinda annoying to need to have to totally restart the emulator for any change).

Is there any way to support live reload and have cordova be recognized?

If not this should at least be explained in the documentation.
