Summary

Ionic has made a significant update to its Angular Toolkit by splitting the package into two separate functionalities: @ionic/angular-toolkit, which continues to support Angular apps with schematics for generating new pages/routes, and a newly introduced package, @ionic/cordova-builders, specifically for Cordova-based apps. This change aims to enhance efficiency and maintainability by addressing the breaking changes in Angular's tooling API that primarily affected the builders, rather than the schematics. Users of @ionic/angular with Capacitor can update to the latest version of @ionic/angular-toolkit and remove outdated ionic-cordova-build entries from their configuration. In contrast, Ionic/Cordova users need to install @ionic/cordova-builders and update their build tasks accordingly. This update also includes support for Angular v13.0, addressing a popular demand from developers.
