I have the same error in my Ubuntu 14.04:

Uploading app...
Error malformed response: SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
Response: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta (CLI v1.3.17)

Your system information:

OS: Distributor ID:    Ubuntu Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS 
Node Version: v0.10.37
Cordova CLI: 4.3.0
Ionic Version: 1.0.0-rc.1
Ionic CLI Version: 1.3.17

From the error, it seems that there is probably and error in your index.html or config.xml

Check there and see if there is any issues

I am getting a similar error. I don’t have that IE 7 line in my index file!! I am facing this after I upgraded to ionic-cli 1.3.18.

Edit: I repeated about twice and suddenly the project got uploaded. No problem now. Really weird.

I am having the same issue with Ionic v1.3.18 on Mac OS X 10.10.

The discussion on this bug had the solution for me: my project root had an ionic.project file with an app_id filled in.

Deleting the value for that property and then running ionic upload again worked.
