Repro steps.

I am following the steps given in Angular Mobile guide to create new app with Angular CLI
https://mobile.angular.io/guides/

On executing: ng new hello-mobile --mobile
I get:

The option '--mobile' is not registered with the new command.

As a result, the angular app gets generated but without the files required for mobile development

The log given by the failure.

The option '--mobile' is not registered with the new command.

Desired functionality.

Expecting an angular app to be generated with files required for mobile development

Mention any other details that might be useful.

The mobile option was removed some time ago because it did not work properly. #4143

The only way to create a mobile angular app is currently adding the manifest and service worker yourself.

@amishra511 this guide is totally outdated,
npm install -g angular-cli this is not correct name of package

As for now you should make you app "mobile" manually, as @kacase pointed above

@amishra511
There is a pretty good guide by @coryrylan about how to work with the manifest and service-worker available. I just tested it and it works like a charm.
He suggests using a combination of a manual manifest and sw-precache which is maintained by google.

Check out his guide here:

@kacase I will check this guide out.

@amishra511 Is it still an issue?

[amishra511]

No, not anymore. I can create an angular mobile app now the way suggested by @kacase
