Hi, I've created a new starter app just now using Ionic CLI 7.2.0, and I'm not experiencing any problems. I'm thinking there might have been a temporary outage somewhere preventing you from installing packages. Could you please try again and let me know if you're still unable to create a starter app?

@mapsandapps I am still experiencing the same error

For any one else facing similar issue, After spending hours, Temp Solution/hack that worked for me on MAC OS though the release : 7.2.0 is still buggy
hope this is fixed in version 8.0
sudo chown -R 501:20 "/Users/xyz/.npm"

I'm glad you found a workaround. I'm going to close this as this connection/response error issue is not related to Ionic Framework.
