ionic capacitor run
Run an Ionic project on a connected device
$ ionic capacitor run [options]ionic capacitor run will do the following:
- Perform
ionic build(or run the dev server fromionic servewith the--livereloadoption) - Copy web assets into the specified native platform
- Open the IDE for your native project (Xcode for iOS, Android Studio for Android)
When using the --livereload option and need to serve to your LAN, a device, or an emulator, use the --external option also. Otherwise, the web view tries to access localhost.
Once the web assets and configuration are copied into your native project, the app can run on devices and emulators/simulators using the native IDE. Unfortunately, programmatically building and launching the native project is not yet supported.
For Android and iOS, you can setup Remote Debugging on your device with browser development tools using these docs.
