Could not find an NgModule. Use the skip-import option to skip importing in NgModule.

Description:

Seems like the CLI doesn't understand Angular 19 standalone conmponent. I am unable to create a page using:

FYI: Standalone component is now the default.

 ionic g page pages/home

Getting the following error

> ng generate page pages/home --project=app
Could not find an NgModule. Use the skip-import option to skip importing in NgModule.
[ERROR] Could not generate page.

My ionic info:

This is also not supported

$ ionic g page pages/home --skip-import

> ng generate page pages/home --skip-import --project=app
Error: Unknown argument: skip-import

I am baffled using ionic CLI, why is it trying to use the project 'app' and then failing?

$ ionic g c pages/home
> ng generate component pages/home --project=app
Project "app" does not exist.

Ionic was adding using the following step:
