It's been a while since I developed in ionic ( 1 yr ). I think things have changed.
I used to be able to create a new blank template ionic project at a local folder on the mac and then replace its placeholder www folder with another project's www folder. This used to work.
Now, replacing the www folder in that ionic blank project makes no difference when I run any of these commands
ionic serve
cordova build ios
cordova emulate ios
I keep seeing the "The world is your oyster" message.
In fact, when I even renamed the local folder that was holding the entire ionic project, the cordova build ios still has worked without any complaints.
Clearly, the code is running somewhere else.
I also notice this at the terminal prompt:
➜ vb git:(master)
Here the git:(master) thing is new to me. Could this be the culprit?
If so, how can I disassociate the github aspect so I can work on the local and quickly test the changes I will be making in the local www as easy as going cordova build ios?
The problem was that when I created the blank project, I used the defaults which now outputs an ionic 2 baby.
I did the following 2 changes to solve my problem.
create my app for version 1 by appending --type=ionic1 as follows:
ionic cordova start myapp -blank --type=ionic1
I also prefixed allmy cordova commands with ionic name space.
Now I can replace the www all day long and my ionic cordova build ios & ionic cordova emulate ios will comply.
hope it will help someone.

I’m unfortunately having difficulty deploying my ionic project for web. No matter what I do, commands such as 'ionic build, ‘ionic build --prod’, ‘ng build --prod’, or whatsoever always create a www folder that is incorrect. The index.html in this www folder is always blank when viewed from a browser.
I’ve tested this issue on other ionic projects as well (just generated some from templates) and the same issue occurs here, with the index.html in the www folder always being displaying a blank site. If possible, I’d appreciate any help if that’s OK!
ionic cordova platform add browser
ionic cordova run browser
ionic cordova build browser --prod
For testing purpose use ionic serve . It will rebuild automatically every time when you update your code.
have you changed the base href in index.html from
base href="/"
to
base href="."
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 am new to Ionic and just getting used to it. However I have noticed that when I create an app files are download from github such as:
Downloading:
https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-app-base/archive/master.zip
Often working without internet access is there a way that files I might need can be downloaded once and stored locally?
Yes, you can avoid downloading it with each new app. When you wrote something like to
$ ionic start YourAppName tabs
tabs - is an alias to Ionic starter repository. You can replace with relative or absolute path to a local directory.
Check out more about start parameters there - Starting an Ionic App.
EDIT: I don't see a reason why the code below couldn't work. And Yes, you have to unpack your default app files to some folder.
$ ionic start YourAppName c:\Temp\ionic-app-base-master
The command ionic start myApp will always create your project with the latest version of Ionic. It will always download the github. Currently there is no how to create a new project without using the downlod of the github.
You can create a blank project and uses it as "boilerplate project" (ionic start myApp blank). Then, when necessary, to update the Ionic (newest version) go to the root of your project and run ionic lib update.
Just download all the templates once and use it whenever you need when you are offline. Ionic will always download latest bundle when you do:
ionic start MyApp
my ionic project works fine with ionic serve --lab ,but while copied the.apk file in build folder to my phone and install the app but blank screen appears ,
Please can anyone suggest what might be my problem
my app is using google maps,key is provieded for both app and browser in index.html
Have you tried running it in the emulator ? Since its much easier to see the error logs . Try ionic emulate android -l or ios -l (whichever OS you are building for) and then once the execution starts run the command consolelogs it will log all the activity and you will have a better understanding about why its not working.
+1 for using Chrome Remote Debugging feature. It give you the same output as you would receive from running you app in the browser.
Additionally, I have found that sometimes if your app is already compiled, the ionic CLI doesnt always copy your current files into the APK, and uses the older cached files instead. If you are banging your head against the wall, run the following commands to make sure you have your latest code in your APK.
ionic platform remove android
ionic platform add android
ionic run android
I suggest you use the Chrome Remote Debugging feature. I encountered the same, and looked for answers to my symptom for hours. Once I connected to the chrome remote debugger, I got the console.log back, and noticed there was a problem in my routing setup.
It was a problem with ionic CLI. I've updated it to the latest and reinstalled all dependencies.
The Ionic framework is pretty great stuff. I was able to successfully build an app with some Angular code I have been working on, but I can't find an answer to the simple question of how to rename the app that gets generated. The output app is always called HelloCordova and there doesn't seem to be any documentation on how to change the name of the app. If I start manually digging through the project directory replacing HelloCordova, I end up with an app that won't run. Surely, people have solved this before.
Edit: You want to change the config.xml file in your project's root directory.
The tag which is responsible for the app name is <name>.
look up the config documentation for more.
Updated
Change the name in config.xml (# project root) see the : documentation.
Execute this command : $ sudo ionic cordova platform remove ios
Check if the folder ios under platforms folder is deleted.
Execute this command : $ sudo ionic cordova platform add ios
If changing the name is not working for any reason delete entire platform folder and then
cordova platform add ios
ionic build ios
If your looking to change the iconic view name be sure to also update ionic.project
Yes, you just have to modify the config.xml. Find a "name" tag and put your required name between this tag.
The following steps will help you as it did to me.
Rename app name in config.xml
<name>Your_new_name</name>
ionic cordova plugin save
ionic cordova rm ios
ionic cordova add ios
ionic cordova plugin add --save cordova-plugin-facebook4 --variable APP_ID="my_app_id" --variable APP_NAME="my_app_name" --variable CHANNEL_NAME="master"
In the parent directory of the ionic project there is a config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<widget id="com.ionicframework.todo497320" version="0.0.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
<name>CHANGE NAME HERE</name>
Note that the project name will be seen in various other places in the app, all these will be changed automatically when the app is built
In the parent directory of the ionic project there is a config.xml
CHANGE NAME HERE
If changing the name is not working for any reason delete entire platform folder and then
cordova platform add ios
ionic build ios
You should make this change in the config.xml found at the root of your project. For example you might have something like this:
***<widget id="com.ionicframework.exampleproject223738" version="0.0.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">***
Change the id to whatever you wish your package to be and it will work for the entire project, Android and iOS.
However, if you've already submitted to the app store with a package name, you cannot change the package name at this point. Not unless you want to submit a new project. Updates must be made with matching package names.
For ionic 4.5.0 the "ionic platform" command has been renamed and the following commands are not used anymore:
ionic platform remove ios
ionic platform add ios
Instead use:
ionic cordova platform add ios
ionic cordova platform remove ios
Note: ios or android depending on your case
