ionic cordova run browser errors - ionic-framework

Question

I am trying to run a live reload in the browser as i need to be able to see the camera working but i'm just running into one issue after another.
Command: ionic cordova run browser --livereload
The current error is this:
[ng] An unhandled exception occurred: Job name "..getProjectMetadata"
does not exist.
These errors don't even state where it's coming from, but here is my package... it seems to be related to the build-angular package but no matter what i do it either has the error above or the following depending on what version is used:
Schema validation failed with the following errors: Data path ""
should NOT have additional properties(project)
