Ionic gives prompt: Acquire a developer license, Install the signing certificate

Question

I'm using Ionic to build a windows app but after running command ionic run windows I got following log:

Before installing this app, you need to do the following:


        - Acquire a developer license


        - Install the signing certificate


Administrator credentials are required to continue.  Please accept the UAC prompt and provide your administrator password if asked.


Press Enter to continue...:

Then after it stops and no keypress event is listened in the console.

When I run cmd with admin privilege. It gives following error:

Error: Can not run this platform with administrative permissions. Must be run from a non-admin prompt.

Answer 1

Solution 1:

Run the command

ionic run windows

in PowerShell and it works like a charm (no admin rights).

Solution 2:

You can also go to

[project path]\platforms\windows\AppPackages\CordovaApp.Windows10_0.0.1.0_anycpu_debug_Test

and right click on the *.ps1 file

Add-AppDevPackage.ps1

and click Run with PowerShell

Hope this helps!

PS: Don't forget to add

<preference name="windows-target-version" value="10.0" />

to the config.xml file, as documented here.
