iRoot is not defined, 2nd time launch the app

Issue

When the app is launched the first-time, this is working, after that remove the app from a session, then launch the app, it says

IRoot is not defined

declare var IRoot: any;

ngOnInit() {
 this._platform.ready().then(() => {
   if (typeof (IRoot) !== 'undefined' && IRoot) {
       IRoot.isRooted((data) => {
           if (data && data == 1) {
              this.isRootedORJailBreak = true
              console.log("*******This is routed device");
         } else {
             this.isRootedORJailBreak = false
            console.log("*******This is not routed device");
        }
    }, (data) => {
            this.isRootedORJailBreak = false
           console.log("*******routed device detection failed case", data);
    });
    });
} }

Solution

It seems that the plugin isn't ready when cordova is ready, or isn't doing the registration at time.

You can try to wrap up your code inside of the plataform.ready() with a setTimeout(() => { // your code }, 500); and see if that works.

I saw your issue in github and the response that they gave you, but is just the same that you have tried here.

UPDATE

Move the code inside of the this._platform.ready().then(() => {}) block to the ionViewDidEnter hook, the problem with the ngOnInit is that it can be cached and only will be called one time, the ionViewDidEnter will be called always, no matters if the component has been initialized before.

It seems that the problem was an issue with the cache.
