Hello! Thank you for opening an issue with us!

As this is not an issue with the Ionic Framework, I am going to move this to the Ionic CLI repo.

Thank you for using Ionic

Sorry all, our resource generation server has been flaky lately. Let me know if there are still issues.

@dwieeb Hi, I'm having the same 503 error right now when trying to generate the resources

[t-ricci-enhancers]

@dwieeb also, cloud you guys post the sourcecode that you're using to generate the resources or provide within ionic-cli an offline resources generator? Because in case I need to deploy several apps and the service goes offline I'm really in trouble if I can't build the apps and need to make all the images manually

[jonathan-chin]

is there a reason this generator needs to be online? I've been trying to generate resources for the last hour (no exaggeration) and it keeps failing with a 503 error.

why can't we run this offline?

I used ionic cordova resources and it said I have no platforms detected. When I ran the suggested command to add ios and then generate resources, my app broke and will no longer build when I try to package it for ios.
Here is the failure:

I cannot figure out what action broke it and how to reverse the problem

[imhoffd]

@t-ricci-molecle @jonathan-chin The resources service likely won't exist in its current form long-term (next few years). It was made to ease the common process of generating appropriately sized Cordova resources without having to compile some image library locally. It's a completely free service that everyone expects to be available 24/7. I'm not sure how or why this service would be tied to app deploys, considering the resources are generated and stored as files in the app. The only time the service is useful is when an icon or splashscreen is changed or when a new resource size is added, which generally happens during development, and certainly not deploy.

There are plenty of alternatives for offline, local image processing, if needed. They just need to be configured. There are even ones specifically for Cordova.

We'll probably be redesigning the official story for app resources such as icons and splashscreens, especially with the arrival of Capacitor. I talk a little bit about this here. More on this later.

@1pocketaces1 That looks like an unrelated issue and I can't read the full error line in your image. Please create a new issue.
