Running an "ionic serve" before "ionic prepare ios" does the job.

I think it is related to the .tmp folder not being deleted after it is iused by ionic.

I can confirm that if you delete the trailing .tmp folder that gets there, then ionic prepare ios does the job.

So it might be a question of ionic doing a force remove (rimraf maybe?) of the .tmp folder after it uses it for whatever purpose, because otherwise it is doing a cache of it's contents.

Same problem here... tried the .tmp solution without success.

I'm having this same issue exactly, but it is happening on IOS too. Nothing has seemed to be working. I've tried every single google solution possible.

I use "ionic cordova run ios" and it updates the code.

I have the same problem with platform „browser“ on macOS Sierra. First it was working, but now i get everytime an old build.

I‘ve tried the following:

removed www folder
removed platform and added it again
removed node_modules folder and again executed npm install
restarted my mac
running a „ionic serve“

Nothing works. Please give me a hint how to solve this. Thanks.

Thanks for the issue! This issue appears to be associated with an old version of the Ionic CLI. Please update to the latest CLI version, which supports all versions of the Ionic Framework. If the issue is relevant and if it persists after updating to the latest CLI version, please create a new issue.

Thank you for using Ionic!
