In order to build your app you’ll need all the tools shown inside this guide, be sure everything returned by “ionic info” into your terminal is the same as the picture in the guide.
Build android:
Run the following command
ionic cordova build android --prod --releaseThe the .apk file will be produced, follow the path written on your shell to found it.
Build iOS
Run the following command
ionic cordova build ios --prodThe the ..xcodeproj file will be produced, follow the path written on your shell to found it. You need now to open it on Xcode.
Hi there,
Running “ionic cordova build ios –prod” on Linux produced the following error:
==================================================================

Discovered plugin “mx.ferreyra.callnumber” in config.xml. Adding it to the project
Plugin “call-number” already installed on android.

Conflict found, edit-config changes from config.xml will overwrite plugin.xml changes

I am not sure why is it asking for Xcode. I was under the impression that it will only generate a X proj file.
Thanks
Hi Maya, app development for Apple products requires a Mac, it is mandatory to have Xcode installed, and Xcode it’s available only on Mac
