Ionic cordova builder not working with angular 16.

[halilpolathalil]

Hi, I create ionic 7 starter app according to ionic docs. When I run the command "ionic cordova run android -c -s -l", it gives error like "This version of CLI is only compatible with Angular versions ^15.0.0, but Angular version 16.0.4 was found instead.". How can I solve this error.

Hey,
i have the same error, but :

"overrides": {
		"@ionic/cordova-builders": {
			"@angular-devkit/architect": "^0.1600.5",
			"@angular-devkit/build-angular": "^16.0.5",
			"@angular-devkit/core": "^16.0.5",
			"@angular/core": "^16.0.5",
			"@angular-devkit/schematics": "^16.0.5",
			"@schematics/angular": "^16.0.5"
		}
}

inside your package.json avoid this error.
requires npm 8.3+

The override solution didn't work for me...even after doing ionic repair, it just traded one set of issues for another. Globally, I only have @ionic/[email protected] and tried @angular/[email protected] and 16.1.1

I solve with downgrading to angular 15.0.
Solution:

1. Create a New ionic angular project.
2. Delete node modules folder.
3. Open package.json and change all 16 to 15.(you can use Ctrl+f if you use vs code.)
4. Finally use yarn install command to install all upadated package version.
   Probably some Package is going to give dependcy warning. Especially typescript version. If it is, then you have to change version of these package to version of in the warning. You can change version of typescript version to 5.0. Good luck.
