  1. Did you replace the “YOUR_ANDROID_API_KEY_IS_HERE” with your API key?
  2. You are using a beta of the CLI. Betas tend to be broken. Try with 2.2.2 instead.

Yes I replaced the android key, how do I upgrade the cli without getting the new angular conventions and structure? I don’t want to run my project and environment.

The latest version of ionic generates module files and pagemodules when you use ionic g pages, I don’t have time to refactor an entire project because of one plugin.

Thanks
