Ionic2: Package com.my.app has no certificates at entry AndroidManifest.xml

Question

I created one application using Ionic2 and when i run the command ionic cordova run android --prod --release I am getting an error

Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Package /data/app/vmdl
971492117.tmp/base.apk has no certificates at entry AndroidManifest.xml]

Do anyone know how to fix this error?

NB: I have seen similar questions all of them are for native application development.

You cannot install a package build with --release without signing it. See this question on Ionic Forum

Try ionic cordova run android --prod to install an unsigned app to your phone.
