Answer 1

This error is due to the fact that Ionic are transitioning to "Ionic Pro" and the CLI needs to use the correct API. The fact that it is attempting to post login requests to api.ionic.io/login shows it's trying to use the old legacy system. You configure which system it uses by setting the backend value in the config.

To Fix:

Firstly, make sure your Ionic CLI is bang up-to-date.

Check the version:

ionic cli -v

It should be 3.9.2 at time of writing. If not update it:

npm install -g ionic@latest 

Now you've got the latest CLI you need to tell it to use "pro" not legacy:

ionic config set backend pro -g

NOTE: When I did this on my machine it did not work at first and I still got the same "No user found" error. I actually had to switch the backend to "legacy" first (using that same command) and then back to "pro". I have no idea why this fixed it but it did.
