Most helpful comment

In my case, this happened because I set my own app_id in ionic.project, thinking it should be a bundle identifier. This yielded a 404 from the ionic upload API instead of a JSON response, which the API shows as HTML, hence the SyntaxError: Unexpected token <.

Remove it (set it to "" in ionic.project) and try again, or see if you might have deleted the app from your dashboard.

I had similar issues but a different character: SyntaxError: Unexpected token /

I had some comments in my config.xml and my fetch.json file. Removed the comments and the upload worked.

ok did some digging the problem only happens if i set an --io-app-id or ionic link if left blank upload works fine

triniwiz on 11 Jun 2015

The response in Upload.getDirectUploadKey is generating a 404 only if the app_id is set

triniwiz on 16 Jun 2015

Is this good to close?

Follow up: I re-run the ionic upload and worked successfully.

medinarodelsamson on 6 Jul 2015

I've tested ionic upload since issue started and it seems to be the internet connection, Ionic refuses upload from dynamic ips, e.g starbucks, my work where we use complicated proxy server set ups. While it works fine on home connection / static IP server at work.

LunarDevelopment on 6 Jul 2015

upload only works if you don't assign a --io-ap-id

triniwiz on 7 Jul 2015

Just had the same upload failed problem (upload.js). Running a Windows 8 machine.
I solved it by running npm update in my node_modules folder at
C:UsersAppDataRoamingnpm.

It worked after that.

guys I had the same problem, but then tried building it in ios and android via commands:

ionic build ios
ionic build android

Later ionic upload worked fine.

yadunandan004 on 4 Feb 2016

I think ionic had some backend troubles. I also had this issue. So I tried the web-login and got an application error. After a few minutes the login worked again. So the problems seems to be fixed.

Flofie on 4 Feb 2016

i had the same issue. But when you re run "ionic upload" again it work fine. so weird.

Remove it (set it to "" in ionic.project) and try again, or see if you might have deleted the app from your dashboard.

$ ionic uploadworked after running $ionic build ios

kishorekumaru on 19 Apr 2016

Hello all! Is this still an issue with the latest version of the ionic cli? Thanks for using Ionic!

jgw96 on 4 May 2016

I have experienced the issue with the latest version when re-uploading a project which was already previously uploaded by another user.

Steps to replicate the error :

Create an ionic app, run ionic upload..
Delete the json file containing the Ionic app Id.
Rerun ionic upload.

Best,
Jesse

Solution
ionic platform remove android

now in your ionic.config.json file on line 3, remove the app id string
example if you have
{ "name": "appName", "app_id": "com.appbuilingr.httplocalbuilderpagedashboard.blogjobs" }
This becomes
{ "name": "appName", "app_id": "" }

Then run "ionic plarform add android"
then
"ionic upload"

Mind letting us know? https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues

mmahgoub on 16 Oct 2016

For some reason /.io-config.json got replaced by an empty string did a git diff and recovered the contents of the file which contains app_id and api_key
{"app_id":"myid","api_key":"mikey"}

mmahgoub on 16 Oct 2016

Thanks for opening the issue. It seems that issue has been resolved. I am going to close this issue but please feel free to reopen another issue if this occurs again.
