This isn't really a bug in Ionic CLI. You'll have to fix the installation of sharp, which is the image processing dependency of cordova-res. I noticed you have the tool installed in your project, which isn't our recommended strategy.

Install it globally:

1. First, remove it from your project: npm uninstall cordova-res
2. Install globally: npm install -g cordova-res

Here are some more things you can try (keep in mind you will need the -g flag in npm for working with global installations):

• Try reinstalling the tool. npm uninstall cordova-res (making sure that the node_modules/sharp directory is removed) and then npm install cordova-res
• Windows troubleshooting: https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/en/stable/install/#windows-x64

Also, you can pass the --no-cordova-res flag to use the old method (remote resource generation).

sudo npm uninstall cordova-res && sudo npm install -g cordova-res --unsafe-perm=true

its work thankxx brother

[arnotixe]

sudo npm install -g cordova-res --unsafe-perm=true

I had sharp installed locally too, so did both uninstall and uninstall -g on both cordova-res and sharp

Then install -g cordova-res with --unsafe-perm (and that pulled in sharp) => Bob's my uncle

For Apple M1 sudo npm uninstall -g cordova-res then brew install vips and finally sudo npm install -g cordova-res --unsafe-perm=true

@Florian-crg how you avoid this error once executing ionic cordova resources?
