WebApp using Ionic 3 or latest - ionic-framework

I am new to Ionic so it may possible that my question is of baby level but then too I want to know presence of any browser platform in ionic 3. I know the ionic application runs on browser but as i have to add platform for android if I have to run it on android device.
So is there any presence of web platform which specifically build application for web?
If I would like to make web application using Ionic so can I?

Are Ionic Native Plugins not available in Ionic capacitor electron desktop apps?

I need to use In App Purchase 2 Ionic native plugin in an electron desktop app. I've installed it normally and added it in app.module providers, and provided it in the component where needed.
When I console.log the plugin object, it returns an object with all values set to null as if it's not initialized.
Checked other Ionic Native plugins and happens same behavior.
How may I use them in ionic capacitor electron desktop app? Or how may I implement In app purchase?

How to add ionic devApp support in a cordova plugin

I have a cordova plugin which supports Android, iOS and browser platforms. But when adding the plugin in an ionic app that is being developed/built using ionic serve or ionic devApp, the error comes as 'plugin is not defined'. Is there a way to add the ionic devApp support to a cordova plugin ? If it means only using the browser code for all the platforms(Not using any native platform code), then it works for me. Thanks in advance.
I have added the browser platform to my plugin but it does not work with ionic serve even when the app is running on browser. Note that the plugin works fine on browser when the app is run using ionic cordova run browser command.
I want the cordova plugin to be compatible with all platforms - Android, iOS , browser and devApp. My expectation are that when the app is run using ionic cordova run android/ios/browser command, it should use the native code of my cordova plugin. And when the app is run using ionic serve or ionic devApp, then it should use the web code.

How to deploy Ionic app for remote internal users to test

I have an ionic app build on my system.
For now, I have been testing my app using Ionic DevAPP (which can be found on the App Store and Google Play).
Prerequisite to run an app on my mobile device using Ionic DevApp is, My app needs to be up and running using the command:
ionic serve
This option looks great when doing development.
But now, I have my app build and I want to share it with the testing team and PO who is located on shore.
I want to know is there any way or free platform where the users can run an app on their mobile devices directly without starting a dev server.
NOTES:
I know about Ionic dashboard, but it is not free when comes to sharing builds.
I don't want to upload my app on Play Store or Google Play.
Any help is recommended as I am really looking for options to share my app.
I use Diawi To share both apk and ipa, bypassing play/app stores.

Debug an Ionic app published on google play

I am new to ionic app development. I have managed to make an ionic app and test it using android emulator. It works fine.
My app connects to a backend which is deployed on a DNS server and the data is exchanged.
This worked fine using ionic serve or even using the command ionic cordova run android --device.
However, the data is not getting updated on backend when I am trying to use the app after installing it from google play.
Can someone please help me how to debug the app.
I have installed the app on my android device and now trying to hit my backend server to update the data.
Thank you in advance.

[Ionic 2]How to make the app in browser use Android material design all time

I want to use the Ionic 2 app I build as web app (progressive web app). But I want to when build, it will ONLY use android material design. Right now in localhost by running Ionic serve, the result on my browser is random - sometimes it looks like Apple with tabs at the bottom, and sometimes it looks Android with tab up top.
How can I build the app to make sure the output www folder will ONLY use Android style. And I can deploy the build as a website (run on desktop with no Cordova stuffs)?
You should be able to set the mode prop in the config options when you bootstrap your app in app.ts:
ionicBootstrap(MyApp, [SomeProviders], {mode: 'md'});
