I am trying to use Ionic Appflow to do live update for my Angular-capacitor app. I have followed the documentation here: https://ionic.io/docs/appflow/quickstart/deploy.

I installed the Appflow SDK to my project with this command line:

ionic deploy add  
    --app-id="My_APP_ID" 
    --channel-name="Production" 
    --update-method="auto"

As the document says, it will listen to the "Production" Channel for changes and apply them to the app during the splash page.

Then in Ionic Hub (https://dashboard.ionicframework.com/) I deployed a newer version of my app with changes to the production channel.

This picture shows what I changed in the code, it was just changes of the theme Color.

After close and open my app in the emulator for serval times, no changes has been applied.

here is the list of packages versions

"@angular/cdk": "~10.2.0",
"@angular/common": "~10.1.1",

"rxjs": "~6.5.4",
"stripe": "^8.15.0",
"tslib": "^2.0.0",

Does anyone have any idea why the app is not updating? There should be no code required right? Just the correct setup.

  • Could you please provide more details about what errors you are running into? – Beefster Dec 15 '20 at 21:21
  • @Beefster Sorry for not provided enough detail about the question. I just edited it, please check it out. Thank you. – Jason Peng Dec 15 '20 at 23:54
  • As a helpful tip, make sure to prefix your links to images with `!`. Something strange might be going on with the image inserter because I saw quite a bit of this when running through the review queue. As for an actual answer, I'll leave that to an expert. I'm just trying to be helpful and welcoming. :) – Beefster Dec 15 '20 at 23:59
  • Did you get to a solution? Is there any code required? – Lorraine R. Jun 14 '22 at 06:42
  • I made this today without writing code. Only the configuration as described under AppFlow, mainly adding `ionic deploy add --update-method=none --app-id="YOUR_APP_ID" --channel-name="YOUR_CHANNEL_NAME"`, building and publishing the app, and then just building a `web` build, and it will be published directly. – Lorraine R.
