Ionic 3 not rebuilding on file change - ionic-framework

Am starting a new project on ionic version 3.20
Every time I update a file, the web page isn't refreshing/rebuilding, where it suppose to live reload on "localhost:8100"...
So am stopping ionic and run "ionic serve" again on every update.
Although when i refresh the web page (localhost:8100) the page is reloading till infinity.
I have uninstall cordova and ionic, and still same issue comes.
Any solutions please.?

can you try this :
npm run ionic:serve
it will work

Create ionic4 project after ionic5 release

As ionic5 is now released, so now when I use this command ionic start myApp blank --type=angular ionic5 app is created, I can confirm this from ionic info command, I am wondering how can I create ionic4 project. The reason behind creating ionic4 project is I have one app in ionic3 and I want to upgrade that app to first in ionic4 and then to ionic5 instead of directly going to latest one because I don't yet know the breaking changes in ionic5 yet and I haven't yet worked on it as well
okay, I got ionic4 app by first creating project with command sudo ionic start myApp blank --type=angular and then when project was created, then using sudo npm i #ionic/angular#^4.0.0 inside app directory to update the ionic info, this can be confirmed both via package.json and ionic info command

(Ionic Deploy) My App Starting Screen is Very Slow Open

My project is very slowly opening with Ionic Deploy.
Starting time (Without Ionic Deploy): 00:09 seconds
Starting time (With Ionic Deploy): 00:24 seconds
ionic cordova build android --prod --release
Why is this happening? Is this happening to you too?
If you are downloading the deploy update during app startup, that can slow down start times. The Ionic Deploy service must check if there's an update, download the update and then unzip it.
The other options would be to 1) download/unzip the update during app usage and then show users the update next time they open the app or 2) write a custom installation scenario. I would suggestion option 1.

How to get Ionic Pro Deploy to download latest version on first app open

Problem
When I release a new version to the production channel in Ionic Pro Deploy (Channels) then I have to cycle my app twice in order to get the latest version. Even worse, on the first cycle my app reverts back to a far earlier version for some reason.
What I mean by cycling is, starting from a state where the application is shut down and not open, I open the app, wait for the splash screen to go away and app to be ready, and then close the app.
Question
How do I get my app to download the latest version on the very next time I open the Ionic app following my production release?
Plugin configuration
I used the plugin config from the dashboard.ionicjs.com page:
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-ionic --save \
--variable APP_ID="[myappid]" \
--variable CHANNEL_NAME="Production" \
--variable UPDATE_METHOD="background"
Execute the command you already showed but set UPDATE_METHOD to "auto"
If you wand more control over your updating methods have a look at this:
https://ionicframework.com/docs/pro/deploy/plugin-api.html
In my case, live deploy worked correctly on a "blank" Ionic project. Live deploy also worked correctly on "my" app on iOS but not on Android.
I followed the follow steps and successfully fixed Android. However, during this process iOS suddenly had the same problem (would apply update on app install/close/open).
Set versions as per Ionic support. IonicPro live deploy currently requires these versions. Ionic are in the process of fixing this dependency:
"cordova-plugin-ionic-webview": "1.1.19",
"cordova-plugin-ionic": "4.1.7",
Install a new version of "blank" project. Update my app to use the same npm plugin versions (some of my app plugins were old).
Remove/add android platform. My hunch is this is what ultimately resolved the issue.
I wanted to try a remove/add ios platform to see if that also resolved the issue on iOS. But it was less work to ultimately switch over to IonicPro rather than re-config the local build setup.
Live deploy worked correctly on both iOS and Android after creating binaries in IonicPro.

Ionic serve / ionic run not reflecting changes

Both ionic serve and ionic run are not reflecting any of my latest changes. ionic serve is showing them from a few hours ago, and ionic run is showing them from about an hour later. Since then, I've discarded all my changes, and created a new branch from the parent--yet it's still showing those same versions from a few hours ago on the first branch. In short, there's code showing up that I don't have in any files in this, or any, branch. And no uncommitted changes.
Your system information:
Cordova CLI: 6.5.0
Ionic CLI Version: 2.2.2
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.2.1
ios-deploy version: 1.9.0
ios-sim version: 5.0.8
OS: macOS Sierra
Node Version: v6.10.1
Xcode version: Xcode 8.3.1 Build version 8E1000a
I've tried things including ionic state restore and ionic state reset as well as removing and adding platforms back manually.
Also, this is what shows up in my console currently:
Static file server running # http://localhost:8000/index.html
CTRL + C to shut down
200 /service-worker.js
Whereas it previously displayed a list of html, css, etc. requests when the page loaded. Currently, I can make it work as expected by unregistering and removing all ServiceWorkers at chrome://serviceworker-internals/ and chrome://inspect/#service-workers
#stephen, it's been some time now, but I faced a similar issue before. Turns out I had registered the service worker that ships with projects created with the CLI, check your index.html and see if the lines that register the service worker are commented out. If they are you may be having a different problem, if they aren't and you didn't plan to use a service worker, comment them out again, and on your browser (you said chrome), after running ionic serve, open "Inspect" (Ctrl+Shift+I), go to the "Application" tab - "Service Workers" and unregister it.
This happens because the service worker that ships with new projects created using the cli will cache all resources, next time you update your code the browser will load the previous version, that's why you don't see the changes.
Hope it helps
Open the developer console, right click on the button to reload the page and click on empty cache and reload in a forced way (Last option).

Ionic app starter project hangs on NPM install phase

When I'm trying to create a simple ionic app with 'ionic start' command, I see that ionic downloads a base app and the template indicated, but then I see 'Installing npm packages...' and it that never ends it's process (I have waited hours).
Ionic creates the myapp folder with files within it, but I don't know if it finally creates the ionic app to work with. If I put 'ionic serve' there is nothing on screen, even if I choose the tabs template.. or an error 'couldn't find ionic.config.json file'
is it a firewall issue? anyone has faced with this?
You must update your ionic to beta version using:
npm install -g ionic#beta
