Fix the upstream dependency conflict (Nodejs 16.16.0 / npm 8.11.0 / ionic 7.2.0)

Capacitor

I am new to ionic. I got issues when build at Mac OS (14.4.1) by visual studio code. I am wondering do I need to update package.json files and resolve those dependance one-by-one?

When I run
sudo ionic capacitor add ios --force

Returnnpm

Looks like the conflict comes from @agm/core, which has not been updated in 4 years, so most likely you’ll have to stop using it.

You can also install with --force param and pray for things to keep working.
