Answer 1

I had the same problem once, all what I've come up with, is to create a new project, then replace the www folder with my own one, add all plugins. seems to fix the problem.

Answer 2

• For me, After created the project using this command : ionic start alertDialog blank --v2.New project was created.

• first of all check whether you have ionic.config.json file is available in that project folder.But what is the issue means, I had already create one alertDialog folder before running the command.So the directory would be MyIonic2-> alertDialog -> alertDialog.

• So I removed one folder alertDialog. Now it would be MyIonic2 -> alertDialog fixed my issue.

Answer 3

After the recent update to the ionic-cli look for a file,
so just rename the file named ionic.project to ionic.config.json

Answer 4

Go to ionic.io to create a new app. Then create ionic.config.json file in your app's root folder with content like

{
  "name": "your_app_name",
  "app_id": "your_app_id"
}

Then run the command "ionic build android", it should work.
