Why are these warning in the latest ionic, fresh app building…
Is there a way to remove all these…

When you create an Ionic Angular app, it includes a lot of dependencies out of Ionic control and those warnings come from those dependencies.
I’ve checked a few of the warnings you mention and they come from angular packages, webpack or the dev server.

I wouldn’t worry about too much warnings, they are usually harmless, and when they become a problem they will probably be fixed.

I am afraid as they may become big headache, when we don’t upgrade them timely or if there are any security flaws found.

Is it possible for us to independently upgrade default ionic project angular, ts versions…

currently it uses

The angular dependencies that had the dependencies with warnings are actually build related and are in the devDependencies section, like @angular-devkit/build-angular, or @angular/cli. None of those should make your app vulnerable.

But yeah, you can always update your app dependencies. As long as they are minor version bumps it shouldn’t cause problems with Ionic. When they are major version bumps then sometimes (not always), they need changes on Ionic.
