I have two machines. Each of them has same Ionic project from same git repo. the first one has missing capacitor build option (see the pictures)
Machines have different ionic version (6.12.0 vs 5.4.16) How can I add 'build' functionality to capacitor in computer 1?
Computer 1:
Computer 2:
ionic capacitor build was introduced in #ionic/cli version 6.6.0 (see their CHANGELOG)
so the solution for Computer 1 is to upgrade #ionic/cli at least to that version.

When I install for example the Insomnia plugin the Capacitor way like so:
npm install cordova-plugin-insomnia
npm install #ionic-native/insomnia
ionic cap sync
It still requires me to install the cordova plugin like this:
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-insomnia
In order to work. Otherwise it says: plugin_not_installed
My steps to make it work are:
Step 1: Add Insomnia to providers (#ionic-native/insomnia/ngx)
Step 2: Inject Insomnia within the constructor private insomnia: Insomnia
Am I forgetting something or do I just really need to ionic cordova plugin add for plugins that are not fully supported yet?
Probably obvious for most but just in case someone else might face this problem..
When you use capacitor you shouldn't start your server with ionic cordova run or ionic cordova build anymore.
Obviously you need to start it this way for livereload:
ionic cap run android -l --external
ionic cap run ios -l --external
That is because your application is using cordova and not capacitor..
Remove your platforms folder, and just to make sure and remove unnecessary cordova files which will increase your app size, remove cordova-android and cordova-ios from your package.json.. You do not need that for running your app based on capacitor.
Then, run this command.
ionic build
npx cap add android
npx cap add ios
For each successive build, in case you add or remove a plugin, use npx cap sync
Otherwise use npx cap copy

I am starting to work on an existing Ionic 4 application. In that project #ionic/core version is 4.8.1. To start, I installed ionic CLI and noticed its version to be 5.4.15. I was not able to find easily if I can install an older ionic CLI version.
However, I feel CLI version and the application version need not be the same always. So, now, I would like to know how these things are related. Also, for me to run my existing project, can I use the same version of ionic CLI.
I wanted to mention that all ionic-native/**** references are 5.10.0 which I think should fine as #ionic/core and #ionic/angular is the version which says what my ionic project version is.
Now i have the latest version of ionic 3.0.0. My ionic version: 3.0.0.
And my ionic info:
global packages:
#ionic/cli-utils : 1.0.0
Ionic CLI : 3.0.0
System:
Node : v7.3.0
OS : macOS Sierra
Xcode : Xcode 8.3.2 Build version 8E2002
ios-deploy : 1.9.0
ios-sim : 5.0.13
Now i have two question in this. I searched , but not able to get the clear. If any one can answer. It will be helpful for many new bie like me.
So,
1.Now i have ionic 3.0.0. Then if i want to open the project in ionic v2. i will give ` ionic start newapp blank --v2 or (--ts_)'. And i will use some updated plugin having in ionic 3.0.0. Does it will work out. or i need to create a seperate project for ionic version 3 ??
Now i have old ionic 1 project that i am still working on. So once i update my ionic to3.0.0. Now what i done is :
ionic start newapp blank --v1 then i copied my old project www folder to this newapp and i replaced it.
My question is. Still can i use angular js1 to code for this project also. And while make ionic release means when i want to put it in my app store. Does any problem will occur. Because i have create this project as --v1.
If yes when i create a new project ionic start newapp blank --v1 its asking me Link this app to your Ionic Dashboard to use tools like Ionic View? y/N : what should i need to do
Please clarify me..thanks in advance
Using the ionic-cli version 3.0 you should be able to work on all versions of ionic projects.
The new cli will create an ionic v3 app by default. If you want to create an ionic v1 app, you need to add --v1. But if you are starting with a new app, I strongly recommend going for v2+.
Depending on the version your ionic app has, you need to add some additional plugins:
#ionic/cli-plugin-ionic-angular – Ionic Angular project plugin that provides useful build tools and generators. (ionic v2+)
#ionic/cli-plugin-ionic1 – Ionic 1 project plugin that has functionality ported from the old CLI.
#ionic/cli-plugin-cordova – Essential for an Ionic/Cordova app.
#ionic/cli-plugin-proxy – For proxying CLI requests through a firewall.
I can't tell you if you need to link your app to the dashboard. If you are using the Ionic services (Push, View, etc), then it makes sense.
That being said, I have experienced quite a few "bugs" or inconsistent behaviour with the new cli, so you might need to downgrade if something doesn't work.
I had this same worry when I updated my Ionic to v3 (CLI 3.1.2). They seem to really be pushing to use their cloud services (obviously, they want to start making some money on it).
When I tried the old v1 command:
ionic build ios
I received:
The build command has been renamed. To find out more, run:
ionic cordova build --help
So, then I tried
ionic covdova build ios
That failed with this:
ionic package build ios
[ERROR] Your project file (./ionic.config.json) does not contain 'app_id'. Run ionic link.
So, after looking around a bit, I used this command and it worked:
ionic cordova build ios --v1
It asked me to install a couple of things, then chugged out a new successful build. All good.
Please use following command as I had trouble with "--v1"
ionic start newapp blank --type=ionic1
As mentioned by #Samuel.
Add Ionic 1 CLI to the devDependency list. Open package.json file in the project directory and add the following line to devDependencies.
"#ionic/cli-framework": "^1.0.0-rc.2"
Example package.json:
Running ionic repair removed package.json and node_modules then, if prompted, run npm audit fix, and then you will be asked to Install #angular/cli?
I've been using Ionic for a while, including the "ionic share" command from the CLI.
However, recently, that command fails with:
$ ionic share
Invalid command (CLI v2.2.2)
Your system information:
Cordova CLI: 6.4.0
Ionic CLI Version: 2.2.2
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.2.1
ios-deploy version: 1.9.0
ios-sim version: 5.0.13
OS: macOS Sierra
Node Version: v6.9.3
Xcode version: Xcode 8.3 Build version 8E16
Has anyone run into this issue?
Thanks,
Wayne
As of now the Ionic CLI doesn't recognize the ionic share command, though their documentation hasn't updated this information.
However, you can now share your app from your ionic.io account:
Dashboard > Settings icon next to the app you want to share > Share
Then you'll be able to enter email addresses to share your preview with. Just had to go through that drudgery myself.
I wanted to add that I found
ionic upload
to be a worthwhile CLI replacement for pushing new data up.
I am using Ionic framework for my project. As per ionic build I have used the build command for windows:
ionic build windows
After the build I get the file structure as below:
The issue is I'm not able to figure out were do I get the .XAP file inside the platform/windows folder and I'm completely new on Windows build.
I'm just posting this as an answer, to which we came in the comments under the OP's question:
Add the windows phone platform: ionic platform add wp8.
Build for wp8: ionic build wp8.
The file CordovaAppProj_Debug_AnyCPU.xap is the one you're looking for.
However, I would like to turn your attention to these few posts:
http://blog.vjrantal.net/2015/01/08/experiences-with-ionic-on-windows-phone-8-1/
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/msdn_answers/archive/2015/02/10/running-cordova-apps-on-windows-and-windows-phone-8-1-using-ionic-angularjs-and-other-frameworks.aspx
http://appfoundry.be/blog/2014/10/16/ionic-windows-phone
which basically confirm what the official Ionic team says that the platforms wp8 and windows in general are not yet fully supported; but they hope they soon will be.
