So uninstall, etc, etc. and reinstalled ionic2. Created a new v2 app to compare. Then used NCU to see if there were any outdated dependencies.
Using …\ionic\cutePuppyPics\package.json
[…] \ :
@angular/common 2.2.1 → 2.4.9
@angular/compiler 2.2.1 → 2.4.9
@angular/compiler-cli 2.2.1 → 2.4.9
@angular/core 2.2.1 → 2.4.9
@angular/forms 2.2.1 → 2.4.9
@angular/http 2.2.1 → 2.4.9
@angular/platform-browser 2.2.1 → 2.4.9
@angular/platform-browser-dynamic 2.2.1 → 2.4.9
@angular/platform-server 2.2.1 → 2.4.9
@ionic/storage 1.1.7 → 1.1.9
ionic-native 2.4.1 → 2.7.0
rxjs 5.0.0-beta.12 → 5.2.0
sw-toolbox 3.4.0 → 3.6.0
zone.js 0.6.26 → 0.7.7
@ionic/app-scripts 1.1.3 → 1.1.4
typescript 2.0.9 → 2.2.1
Really? Not even shipping with the latest version of your own @ionic/storage or ionic-native? And that out of date on rxs and typescript?
Are there any timeframes on getting the dependencies updated? Yes I saw that you are working on loadtimes, etc. but nonetheless.
