I’ve updated Ionic to the latest version and whether the app is new or a previously created one the command : ionic add ionic-platform-web-client results in ‘add is not a valid task’.  
Any ideas?

@pretrivoges did you find a solution to your issue?

I started to play with ionic 2 alpha and when executing what you did I have:

```
Failed to find the bower component "ionic-platform-web-client".
Are you sure it exists? (CLI v2.0.0-alpha.25)
```

I had issues updating my ionic. My version of ionic cli was out of date and didn’t want to update and that caused the error. Check Ionic CLI version, it needs to be 1.7.10

It seems that with Ionic 2, no more need to add ionic-platform-web-client. See [here](https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/problem-with-ionic-add-ionic-platform-web-client-windows/38106/2)

Thanks for your answer. 🙂
