Hey,

I’m new at ionic and trying to start an app, with no success :frowning: By trying the command ionic emulate platform android -l -s -c I’m getting this message:

Error: Unknown platforms: platform.

By usind the command ionic run ios -l -c I’m getting the error message below. Any ideas? THX!

About the timeout, its simple to solve.

  1. Go to:
    \platforms\android\cordova\node_modules\q

  2. Locate:
    var timeoutId = setTimeout(function () {
    deferred.reject(new Error(message || “Timed out after " + ms + " ms”));
    }, ms);

  3. Change to:
    var timeoutId = setTimeout(function () {
    deferred.reject(new Error(message || “Timed out after " + ms + " ms”));
    }, 10000000);

  4. Run! You’ll see dependencies being installed. Thats why time was running out! #bug

  5. After all, you can undo the changes.
