So, I'm new to Ionic and may have missed something. But I started a new empty application, for example:
ionic start BlankApp --v2 blank
then the browser platform is added:
cordova platform add browser
and then built to produce:
ionic build browser
The result is as follows:
> ionic-hello-world@ ionic:build C:\Work\ionic\BlankApp > ionic-app-scripts build keywords if/then/else require v5 option [17:56:25] ionic-app-scripts 0.0.47 [17:56:25] build dev started ... [17:56:25] clean started ... [17:56:25] clean finished in 3 ms [17:56:25] copy started ... [17:56:25] transpile started ... [17:56:28] transpile finished in 3.47 s [17:56:28] webpack started ...

Error loading cordova-browser Running command: cmd "/s /c "C:\Work\ionic\BlankApp\platforms\browser\cordova\build.bat"" Cleaning Browser project
I was expecting a small js package, given that there is nothing in this application. It was assumed that the tremor of the trees dropped a lot of code, and the application, I believe, was supposed to be, but quickly covered.
Unfortunately, this is not what happened.
In the platforms/browser/www/build/js main.js there is a main.js file larger than 4 MB. There is also a main.css file with 500 KB content.
What am I missing? Am I looking in the wrong place?
** UPDATE: ** My problem is that I am trying to create a progressive web application. If I only wanted to create a mobile application, everything would be fine. But for a web application to download 4 MB of things, before I even consider its own content crazy, I can’t believe that this is the state of the union for the release of RC4.
Thanks,
Eduardo
