yea the issue was where i was putting my modal as an entry component. If you have a component that is used as a modal or pop over make sure that you are placing it in the correct module for the component as a ‘entryComponent’

+1 thank you i were using sidemenu component and not added it in entry components array in app moule

so after i add it the problem disappeared

before

@NgModule({

declarations: [

AppComponent,

SidemenuComponent

],

entryComponents: ,

imports: [

BrowserModule,

HttpClientModule,

IonicModule.forRoot(),

IonicStorageModule.forRoot(),

AppRoutingModule

],

providers: [

StatusBar,

SplashScreen,

{ provide: RouteReuseStrategy, useClass: IonicRouteStrategy }

],

bootstrap: [AppComponent]

})

export class AppModule { }

after

@NgModule({

declarations: [

AppComponent,

SidemenuComponent

],

entryComponents: [SidemenuComponent],

imports: [

BrowserModule,

HttpClientModule,

IonicModule.forRoot(),

IonicStorageModule.forRoot(),

AppRoutingModule

],

providers: [

StatusBar,

SplashScreen,

{ provide: RouteReuseStrategy, useClass: IonicRouteStrategy }

],

bootstrap: [AppComponent]

})

export class AppModule { }
