Hello,

I tried to update platforms ios and android in my project.  
I think I tried every command line I found but it still shows old platforms:

sudo npm update -g ionic  
sudo npm update -g cordova  
ionic platform update ios  
=\> iOS project is now at version 3.7.0  
ionic platform update android  
=\> Android project is now at version 3.6.4

but ios should be 3.8.0 and android at 3.7.1

Please help me 😉  
Thanks

```
