This version of CLI is only compatible with Angular versions ^13.0.0, but Angular version...

My Ionic project was running fine a month ago. Today when I tried ionic serve or ionic build, I get the below error:



What CLI version is compatible with Angular version 12.2.13? If you really want to know why I am asking this question you can ready further.

So I followed the advice to upgrade to Angular 13 on the official Angular website, I used the following command: npm @angular/cli@13 update @angular/core@13 @angular/cli@13.

This route asked me to upgrade my Node.js to version 16 (latest, current). After upgrading Node.js to v16 I retried to upgrade to Angular 13 and during this process the installation failed/stopped due to unsupported dependencies and so on.

I googled most solutions, tried, and wound up with a project where all my plugins can't be found and so on. So I reversed the above process by uninstalling Node.js v16 to v12, removed npm, the node_modules folder and now I am back at the point where I am getting the below error in the picture.

Here's my developer environment from ionic info:
