FAQ

1.) Is there a way to change the name of the app and its icon image?

There will be a file named package.json in the folder where you can change the icon of the app. was able to change name and image in the file config.xml. Then you should have a folder such as resource ---> android ---> icon ...In icon folder add the respective icon image you want to.

2.) I try to publish the generated apk from your project in the play store, but it shows me an error. To be more exact is this: "The file could not be uploaded. You have uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle that can be debugged. For security reasons, you must disable debugging in order to publish them on Google Play. See more information about the APK or Android App Bundles debuggable."

If you know how I can solve it, I appreciate it!

the apk is not being uploaded to playstore because before uploading you need to sign your apk, its a proof that this apk belongs only to you .... mainly for security .... you search on youtube for signing ionic application....enjoy

3.) how to add image in template instead of normal texts? well actually you added a text in home.ts I.e "
