Now that we have successfully built our Ionic application, we want to distribute it. The best way to reach a wider audience is with the help of App Stores. But before we start distributing the app, we need our app-specific icons and splash screens integrated with the app. Splash screens are totally optional and depend on the product idea.
ionic platform add android
ionic platform add ios
The CLI automatically adds a new folder named resources
. You can check this out in the ionic-chat-app
we created in Chapter 8, Building a Messaging App. The resources
folder consists of Ionic, Android, or both subfolders, depending on the platforms you have added. In each of these folders, you will see two subfolders named icon and splash.
Note
If your app uses splash screens, you can keep the splash
folder; if not, delete the folder to save a few bytes of your final app installer.
