can anyone please advise what is the problem and how to solve it?

Answer 1

This is not an Ionic error and the reason is right in your console.log.

22 error moodlemobile@4.1.0 ionic:serve: `cross-env-shell ./scripts/serve.sh "--host=localhost" "--port=8100"`
22 error Exit status 126

The script serve.sh does not have proper permissions.
