Learn why ngOnInit is insufficient for data refreshing in Ionic apps and how to use ionViewWillEnter to prevent stale data when navigating back through the page stack.
Ionic’s built‑in lazy loading splits Angular pages into separate NgModules, cutting bundle size and speeding first‑screen rendering. Learn how to enable it, verify it, and weigh its trade‑offs in a production app.
Goal: Migrate a small Ionic Angular application to a newer version of Capacitor while using Ionic App Flow live updates to achieve zero‑downtime deployment. Constraints: The live update must keep the existing web bundle compatible with the native runtime and any Capacitor plugins that are being upgraded. Uncertainty exists around how to detect and resolve ve
