Current Behavior

Hi,
We discover, due to the lot of fixes on the ion-datetime component (thanks by the way), that the @ionic/angular package depends on the @ionic/core version with a ^ (Compatible with version).

Due to this, even if we choose a specific version of the @ionic/angular, it will automatically download the last version of the @ionic/core package that contains all the components and thus the fix/new behavior.

Expected Behavior

@ionic/angular and @ionic/core use the same version or approximately equivalent version (~)

Steps to Reproduce

ionic start myApp tabs

Thanks! This should be fixed in an upcoming release of Ionic. I changed it so that the same version of Ionic is always installed. This means that if you install @ionic/angular@6.3.0, then @ionic/core@6.3.0 will be installed.

Thanks @liamdebeasi. I suppose this change is not retroactive. Package already shipped will have the old behavior.

[liamdebeasi]

Correct, this fix will apply starting in Ionic 6.3.3.

Hi @liamdebeasi, by testing issue #26146 on stackblitz, I discover that your correction regarding this bug in Changelog 6.3.3 has disappeared...

Below the dependency when installing Ionic 6.3.6

  "dependencies": {
    "@ionic/core": "^6.3.6",
    "jsonc-parser": "^3.0.0",
    "tslib": "^2.0.0"
  }

=> 6.3.7 and thus, cannot test the bug on stackblitz anymore.

EDIT : In fact, by checking package.json file by tag, this problem has never been fixed. Even in 6.3.3 release, there is still a caret (^) on @ionic/core.

Kr.

This PR should fix it: #26349

The original PR was wrong in that I only applied the result of lerna version --exact instead of having our release process run lerna version --exact. The new PR fixes that.
