I would like to know if there's a way of building an APK file of an ionic 4 capacitor app without going through android studio? With Cordova I use ionic cordova build android is there a way of doing the same thing with capacitor? Thanks.
There has been talk that this would be improved in the future but for the moment its not as seamless as the cordova experience.
You can prep the build using:
ionic capacitor copy android
But you still need to run it from Android Studio.
Docs for this are here:

I am planning to start react-native app development. I have tried to follow official docs and some other blogs and tutorials but they are not animous on whether we need android SDK for development.
Please tell me can I go ahead with react-native app development without installing android SDK and studio?
yes you can use Expo instead, Expo is a framework and a platform for universal react native applications, you will find all what you need to know in the docs
I'm building android app using ionic4 and capacitor. I intent to use phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner in my app. But after installing that plugins, I began to fail building my apk. The hint I get from my Android Studio IDE is, that my app gradle using 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0', and the cordova gradle using "com.android.support:support-v4:27.+". I've tried to edit the cordova gradle to v4:28.0.0 (In Android Studio IDE), but still not working. What should I do?
My stack is:
node.js 6.4.1
ionic 4.12.0
angular 7.3.9
capacitor 1.0
and plugins phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner ^8.1.0
Could you show us the build.gradle files entirely?
I installed the plug-in on my project with Capacitor, and there was no problem.
Remove the plug-in, and do these steps :
npm install phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner
npm install #ionic-native/barcode-scanner
ionic cap sync
from https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/barcode-scanner
I was dealing with issues using android and not androidX, so I did then :
Refactor --> Migrate to AndroidX --> No Backup --> Do Refactor
Then do Build --> Rebuild Project
This worked for me
I have build a project in react-native, for now I am testing the android app by using Expo Client App. I am using Visual Code in Ubuntu 18.04.
So the problem is, now I want to test the project for IOS, but unfortunately i can't test the app, because I don't have MAC OS.
Can anyone tell me the alternative solution of testing react-native project on IOS?
And if somehow there is a solution of creating IPA,then can I use that IPA in IOS without uploading it in AppStore?
You can use snack :
Snack lets you run complete react native project in a web browser,you can set it up on your local machine directly use it from snack.io which also let's you test for android and ios as well
I am developing an ionic-4 app, Ionic provides cross platform apps but I am a bit confused and my confusion is can I use a single ionic-4 application for mobiles(e.g. Android and IOS) and desktops browsers(Chrome, firefox etc.) as website. Is it possible by using ionic version 4.
Yes, Ionic 4 provides a single code for the execution of multiple platforms.
Ionic Doc
here is help for you. You can check everything.
Yes, you can use Ionic for Android, IOS and Browser. Once the coding is done, you can add any platform to make its build. For example, if you add Android platform then you can take an Android build(APK).Before that you need to setup an environment for that . For example, you need Android studio for taking Android build and Xcode for taking IOS build. It's all depends on the platform that you use.
Please go through Ionic documentation and Youtube tutorials to get a correct picture.
Thank you
I want to integrate Ionic Sass Customization in IBM Worklight hybrid mobile application. can any one help , Not sure what are the dependencies to make this work. Ionic is really cool in customization of themes in IONIC Mobile Apps.

Thanks in advance.
Because Worklight/MFP does not support the Cordova CLI and Ionic deeply integrates their CLI with the Cordova CLI, the approach I believe you should take is:
Create a skeleton app in Worklight Studio, integrated with Ionic. You can look at the Starter Application (for MFP 6.3), that also has a version using Ionic.
Once you have that, you'll need to create an app purely with Ionic, and create the theme you like the most
Then you need to copy over the CSS files or their contents, whatever, to the Worklight/MFP project and manually integrate the two (references in the HEAD or the contents injected into the CSS files
Not a nice approach, but since there is no Worklight > Cordova CLI integrate, the process is not nice.
