Ionic Storage doesn't work on iOS

Setting doesn't work. Getting doesn't work. I can't even get the driver name on iOS. Calling "ready" doesn't work. The calls just don't return. The promises go unfulfilled. It's like a void out there.

Ionic Storage on Android and Chrome work fine.

These are the plugins I have installed:

cordova-plugin-device 1.1.4 "Device"
cordova-plugin-splashscreen 4.0.3 "Splashscreen"
cordova-plugin-statusbar 2.2.2 "StatusBar"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.1 "Whitelist"
ionic-plugin-keyboard 2.2.1 "Keyboard"
onesignal-cordova-plugin 2.2.1 "OneSignal Push Notifications"
cordova-sqlite-storage 2.0.4 "Cordova sqlite storage plugin"
cordova-plugin-inappbrowser 1.7.2 "InAppBrowser"
cordova-plugin-calendar 5.0.0 "Calendar"
cordova-plugin-compat 1.0.0 "Compat"
cordova-plugin-network-information 1.3.4 "Network Information"
cordova-plugin-add-swift-support 1.7.0 "AddSwiftSupport"
cordova-plugin-ionic 2.0.4 "IonicCordova"
cordova-plugin-background-mode 0.7.2 "BackgroundMode"

This is an idea of how I'm using it. Keep it mind that my code works great on Android and in Chrome.

import { Storage } from '@ionic/storage';

this.platform.ready()
.then(()=>{
this.storage.ready()
.then(() => {
this.storage.get(name)
.then((value)=>{

I am also using catches to catch errors, but there aren't any. It just dies. "storage.ready" doesn't even return.

In my app.module.ts, I have these lines in the right places:

import { IonicStorageModule } from '@ionic/storage';

IonicStorageModule.forRoot(),

Any ideas? My head hurts from banging it against the wall.

Ive come across similar issues. To test whats going on in your .ts 

      this.storageEngine = localStorage.storage.driver;

And then in your HTML file 

        {{ storageEngine }}

What I suspect the issue is, its trying to use indexeddb, use sqlite on mobile devices to prevent garbage collection from wiping your data.

Step 1:

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-sqlite-storage

Step 2: app.module.ts

IonicStorageModule.forRoot({
  name: '__yourapp-localstorage',
     driverOrder: ['sqlite','indexeddb', 'websql']
}),
