I m new to Protractor. Before I start using it I want to know if Protractor works with Angular 6/7.
Does it work with all angular versions?
Protractor supports Angular and AngularJS 1.0.6/1.1.4 and higher

We have very good Automation framework already in place which is in java/selenium to verify our web application but now our site will be migrated to Angular and we do not want to move to protractor. So shall we use selenium for Angular app ?
You can use selenium for Angular app but it is more suitable to use the protractor for Angular app testing, as it is built in framework for the Angular app.
I am working with the code from below link http://ionicmaterial.com/ and wan to work with angular 1.5. I have checked the package.json and they have not specified any angular dependency.So don't know where and how to update to angular 1.5. I have referred the following to How to update the version of Angular in Ionic Framework?. But I dont want my ionic to crack.
Is there an IDE like Xcode to develop cross platform apps using ionic? I played with creator.ionic.io but they charge 40$ per month for the complete app development. Can you suggest some open source IDEs? Basically I wanted something similar to ionic where I can drag and drop objects to build the UI
I had come across the same problem when i started at first and found some suggestions from ionic official website.
I copied contents here for convenience.
Visual Studio Code
VS Code is a new editor that comes with support for ES6 syntax, as well as TypeScript support. It will also prompt users to include TypeScript definition files and download them from Definitely Typed. Visual Studio Code is free and works on OS X, Windows, and Linux.
Atom
Atom is cross platform editor built on web technologies. Atom has many plugins to make ES6/TypeScript development very easy. If there isn't something provided by Atom or a plugin, you can even make a plugin yourself, using JavaScript. Atom works on OS X, Windows, and Linux.
WebStorm

Personally i am using "Brackets" its open source as well and really good.
I think community gets totally confused about the OP's question here.He is asking not about an IDE for developing Ionic apps.He is asking the IDE like an Ionic creator.Which is the IDE anyone can create ionic apps without writing a code.
What is an Ionic Creator? See here.
Creator is a simple drag-&-drop tool for going from idea to App
Store, with just the drag of a mouse.
There is no such free and open source tool but the price you have mentioned is not correct with the official Ionic creator. It is $24/mo.You can see details here.

We have Web Application which interacts with Windows base desktop applications.Can Protractor be used to automate UI workflows for desktop application as well?
Protractor is nothing but a framework built on top of webdriver js to automate angular js web applications.It uses API's available in selenium jar file to communicate with the browser. Selenium doesn't have support to automate desktop applictions,hence protractor also cannot be used to automate desktop application.
It is possible to use RobotJs code within Protractor to control
