When I deploy (or debug) the App and I call a REST service (retrieving list items) I get always

500 Internal Server Error, Unknown Error

Maybe I tried to get the items before that the list has been created? Do you have any ideas? How can I debug this problem?

    You could perhaps check ULS. Also, are you querying host web app? And lastly, how does your request look like

  • If I refresh the page it works fine. My request is executed in a $.ajax call and looks like: myURL/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('MyLists')/items?

Since you mentioned that are using jQuery.ajax, you could print the error details using error handler as demonstrated below: 

$.ajax({
        url: siteurl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listName + "')/items",
        method: "GET",
        headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
        success: function (data) {
            //...
        },
        error: function (data) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        }
});

or leverage the Fiddler tool to trace and diagnose REST requests.

go to the IIS logs and see if more information is given about the 500 error code. I have see this error when I want to work with REST and I see IIS log and know that Actually there was problem in behaviour configuration at sevice side and then the way params I was passing at client end has problem.
So I hope this usefull!
