Ionic App does not start

Followed all steps. In last step where app has to be started, it fails. Here's content of file: /home/aws-serverless-auth-reference-app/app/npm-debug.log

Have you tried this again recently? I merged a pull request that locked in the versions of Ionic and Bower for now (which are global NPM modules). In the near future, I'm planning to merge a pull request after fixing a few issues which will fully upgrade the project to the latest versions of Ionic and Angular then allow the latest CLI to be used.

I later figured out that the issue was missing build/vendor.js in file. Here's the diff:

diff --git a/app/src/index.html b/app/src/index.html

   <!-- The bundle js is generated during the build process -->
+  <script src="build/vendor.js"></script>
   <script src="build/main.js"></script>

   <!-- Needed for Cordova/PhoneGap (will be a 404 during development) -->

Didn't have any problem with old old versions of Ionic and Cordova (ran only on browser, didn't create apps for iOS/Android).

This issue is now fully fixed. If you pull the latest code and use the latest version of the Ionic CLI "npm install -g ionic" you should be fine. Please let us know if you encounter any other issues. Thanks!
