I downloaded TACO, Created a new Ionic 2 RC project, did not change anything, clicked Play (F5).

Then this error appears:

Error       Platform android already added.

What can be done to solve this?

Output from Build:

  • Sometimes with issues like this, its helpful to do a ionic platform remove -android and then re-add it. You might also delete your .tmp folder and the node_modules folder and run npm install again. Might help solve your issue. Good luck! – Caleb Swank Jan 18 '17 at 00:01
  • Any luck @Tony ? Did you get solution – Sunny_Sid May 10 '17 at 10:16
  • I did not try anymore, I don´t know if the problem persists. – Tony May 10 '17 at 12:52

make sure you aren't in a directory that already contains an ionic app, this can happen.
