ionic 1 app does not build ios : ionic.project has been renamed to ionic.config.json,

Question

I am working on an Ionic 1 app with a remote team and lately our versions have not liked each other. I was wondering if the fact that I have also been working on Ionic 2 projects for whatever reason my CLI "thinks" these apps are also Ionic 2 and there for is shooting me the error below?

ionic build ios

WARN: ionic.project has been renamed to ionic.config.json, please rename it.
(node:9061) fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported. If you are using the graceful-fs module, please update it to a more recent version.
Uh oh! Looks like you're missing a module in your gulpfile:
Cannot find module 'bower'

Do you need to run `npm install`?

I have ran npm install.. does not make it go away.. I also have make sure to have bower installed.

What does this hold up here have to do with? I've been stuck here for a couple days now.

UPDATE

I went to an old project that and i tried to run ionic info to see the versions I have and system info but I get THE SAME error message..

I have no idea what I've done to get this...

mymac ~/code/92_AAC/newApp on master[!]
$ ionic info
WARN: ionic.project has been renamed to ionic.config.json, please rename it.
Uh oh! Looks like you're missing a module in your gulpfile:
Cannot find module 'gulp'

Do you need to run `npm install`?

UPDATE 2

I downgraded from Node 6 to Node 5.9 On the current project I was having the original issues.. I got this..

$ ionic build ios

 it is highly recommended to install/upgrade the following:     

 Install ios-sim to deploy iOS applications. `npm install -g ios-sim` (may require sudo)
 Install ios-deploy to deploy iOS applications to devices. `npm install -g ios-deploy` (may require sudo)

2. List item: The main error ([email protected] - not sure what to call this.. but this was basically the name of the app? I believe the remote team changed it.. for whatever reason I am still getting the old name..)

Answer 1

I was running Node 6.0.0 and I needed to run Node 4.4.4

Answer 2

Under the above conditions can not be resolved, consider the ionic version, I encountered the same problem, because the final version ionic problem. ionic version upgrade quickly, do the project two months ago, and now ionic been upgraded from 1.7.16 to 2.0.0 of. if you Want to re-run this version, you should enter cmd 'npm install [email protected]', after the run is completed, then the implementation of 'ionic serve' you can run an older version of the project. I hope to help you

Answer 3

I got the same situation.

I had updated ionic from npm (because it said it is outdated) and I didn't realize I have to update npm too. So I have to update npm e remove and reinstall ionic.

# Update npm (downloaded from nodejs.org +6)

sudo npm remove ionic
sudo npm install -g ionic

Answer 4

Run npm uninstall --save-dev gulp-sass@2
