I have globally installed the latest version of Ionic CLI 4 (4.12.0) by running npm install -g ionic@4.12.0, after that, I created a new Ionic project using ionic start, I opened the project and checked my package.json file : "dependencies": { "@angular/common": "~9.1.6", "@angular/core": "~9.1.6", "@angular/forms": "~9.1.6", "@angular/platform-browser": "~9.1.6", "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "~9.1.6", "@angular/router": "~9.1.6", "@ionic-native/core": "^5.0.7", "@ionic-native/splash-screen": "^5.0.0", "@ionic-native/status-bar": "^5.0.0", "@ionic/angular": "^5.0.0", "rxjs": "~6.5.1", "tslib": "^1.10.0", "zone.js": "~0.10.2" } And as you can see, Ionic version installed is "5". Any suggestions to create Ionic 4 project instead of Ionic 5 project? ionic --version: 4.12.0. Thank you. Continue reading...
