You are likely using an old project or old sample code you found somewhere. There is no monolithic ‘ionic-native’ module any more. Read [the docs](http://ionicframework.com/docs/native/) for current usage syntax. ---

**rapropos** , good day ! Maybe it happens because I have such kind using ? `import {Device} from 'ionic-native';` ---

Use: import {Device} from ‘@ionic-native/device’; You have to import all your plugins from “@ionic-native/plugin\_name” ---

I had this error when upgrading to 3.0. The change log helped: [https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#300-2017-04-05](https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#300-2017-04-05) The “Example Upgrade Commit” really helped as well, covered a few things not mentioned in the post: [https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-conference-app/commit/62088](https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-conference-app/commit/62088)
