Why not add grunt-rev ? about generator-ionic HOT 4 OPEN

Never heard of this but it looks really neat. Would you be willing to put in a pull request with this?

@asgeo1 I had included the grunt-rev plugin as part of this generator during an early phase, but ended up pulling it out because I wasn't sure if it mattered for apps running inside a UIWebView. Mobile Safari is a whole other beast though, and it would definitely make sense adding it for that reason alone, but are you deploying your ionic app to the web?

I was hoping to keep the Gruntfile as short as possible, but if versioning assets does in fact provide a better experience from within the context of a UIWebView, I would be happy to add grunt-rev to the build system.

Can anyone confirm if versioned assets has any impact on embedded UIWebViews? My gut says it wouldn't but I haven't explored this at any length.

I am willing to add this to the generator if we can proves it alleviates any issues, otherwise there's no point in adding another build system task just for the hell of it.

The only use case I could see for it would be people who were using this generator to build apps meant to be deployed to web servers and used as websites. In that case, yes, this would be necessary, but that's not the focus of this generator.
