Looking for a way to upgrade angularjs version in ionic v1 app because of Google Play Console Security alert.

Hi, I have same issue. My 8 ionic v1 apps in same status.
I want to upgrade angular version to 1.6.9 or higher. But, I couldn’t find a post about how it’s done

https://angular.io/guide/upgrade

And Google of course

This forum imho does not have many posts related to that. After all, it is Angular, not Ionic

Although along the way you may find usefull tonswitch ui framework version of ionic, leading to the possible conclusion u will want to rebuild

I was able to update the AngularJS library in my Ionic V1 project.

These are the packages I updated and their respective versions:

    "angular": "1.7.8",
    "angular-sanitize": "1.7.8",
    "ionic": "1.2.4",
    "angular-translate": "https://github.com/angular-translate/bower-angular-translate/archive/2.18.1.tar.gz",
    "angular-translate-storage-local": "2.18.1",
    "angular-translate-loader-static-files": "2.18.1",
    "angular-ui-router": "0.4.2",
    "angular-animate": "1.7.8",
    "angular-mocks": "~1.7.8",

Actually, I can’t remember the v1 way of doing this stuff. We do have a bower.json, in which I entered the versions above. After that I ran bower cache clean and let Gulp / Bower install all the things.

PS: I wasn’t able to install angular-translate by it’s version, that’s why I added the link to the gzipped tarball directly.

I tried 1.6.10 with ionic 1.3.3 (latest 1.x) and $ionicLoading started throwing off errors due to issues with $timeout stuff.

I also tried 1.7.9 and had even worse issues.

How have you managed to get ionic to work properly with angularjs versions above 1.5.11?

@alindzon - were you or anyone able to get anglurjs upgraded for an successfully for an Ionic v1 project? Whats the highest angular Ionic v1 can handle before it starts breaking. I have the google security alert that I would like to not see and ensure my app doesn’t have security issues.
