Ionic Package - any new changes? (generates livereload)

[onedee]

Hello,

Since this evening it seems that running “ionic package build android --prod” generates something differently.
I have checked my code from yesterday but can’t find anything suspect regarding this new behaviour.

New behaviour:
After installing and running the finished APK the application tries to reach the IP-adress from where I did run “ionic package…”, it works and loads the app if “ionic serve” is running on my computer otherwise I get some NET_ERR…

Workaround until I figure this out:
I generate APK with Android Studio.

I would say the build that was done before ionic package was a livereload build - and somehow package didn’t do and upload its own build…

Can you please explain in more detail?

[Sujan12]

Run ionic package again and show us all output (and the command you run).
Also post your ionic info output please.

Here are some more info, I don’t know but it works again, the generated APK does not act as a livereload build.

Build 71 did act as a livereload build.
Build 74 did not and I am happy again

-----This is what I did between the builds:-----

ionic package build android

ionic package build android --release --prod
[ERROR] Sorry–a valid production security profile is required for Android release builds.

(I generated and uploaded a keystore)
ionic package build android --release --prod

ionic cordova platform rm ios
ionic cordova platform rm android
ionic cordova platform add android

ionic cordova build android --prod
[ERROR] Cordova encountered an error.
You may get more insight by running the Cordova command above directly.

I think I found the “problem” in config.xml
(I have no idea how and why the file changed in the first place…)

Build 71: (Acts as livereload)
<content original-src="index.html" src="http://10.0.100.200:8100" />

Build 74: (Works as normal standalone)
<content src="index.html" />

This is changed when you start a livereload build locally.
Normally this gets replaced when you do a normal build again, as Ionic Package does.

But good you could pinpoint it. Will try to remember that for next time.
