Lite-server show blank screen in angular app

Question

I want to use lite-server for testing my angular app in mobile view. This is my package json:

{
  "name": "myapp",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",
    "start": "ng serve",
    "build": "ng build",
    "watch": "ng build --watch --configuration development",
    "test": "ng test",
    "dev": "lite-server"
  },
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "~12.2.0",
    "@angular/cdk": "^12.2.13",
    "@angular/common": "~12.2.0",
    "@angular/compiler": "~12.2.0",
    "@angular/core": "~12.2.0",
    "@angular/forms": "~12.2.0",
    "@angular/material": "^12.2.1",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "~12.2.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "~12.2.0",

    "rxjs": "^6.6.7",
    "tslib": "^2.3.0",
    "zone.js": "~0.11.4"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~12.2.1",
    "@angular/cli": "^12.2.13",
    "@angular/compiler-cli": "~12.2.0",
    "@types/jasmine": "~3.8.0",
    "@types/node": "^12.11.1",
    "jasmine-core": "~3.8.0",
    "karma": "^6.3.17",

    "karma-jasmine-html-reporter": "~1.7.0",
    "lite-server": "^2.6.1",
    "typescript": "~4.3.5"
  }
}

When I run my app use command npm run dev I see only blank screen with my title. I already have tryed to build app first then run in folder dist, but it didn't help, I also see blank screen without any errors in console.

As you can see here:

When you have installed lite-server, you have to run this command:

lite-server --baseDir="dist/project-name"

Where project-name is, at its name says, your project name, which is the name of your main folder.

You can also try http-server, you can see another question here, and the docu from here.
