Hello,
I am new to Ionic and programming and this is my first question, so please bear with me.
I am trying to build the app on android to do better debugging and check for geolocation and camera apis. But I am not successful.
I have more than 50 errors showing on my build. But everything looks like more or less related to the environment is what I believe looking at the various support forums.
