One of the most crucial tasks before submitting our dear applications to the app store: creating the icons and splash screens that will look nice on the 24000+ possible mobile devices (yep that’s a big number).  
We will see in this tutorial how to automatically do this using the Ionic CLI.

I didn’t see you wrote the actual command: `ionic resources` or did I miss it 😊😊

Looks like you searched for the “old” CLI command:

```auto
ionic resources

```

The new CLI now split the commands, many of them now add “cordova”:

```auto
ionic cordova build
ionic cordova run
ionic cordova resources

```

Basically everything that is related to devices.

In my case only  
"cordova resources" a worked well to generate icons and splash screen.
