How to skip target device in ionic-cli version 6


I created a new ionic capacitor angular project with platforms android and ios. Now when I run the command 'ionic cap run android -l --external' as usual the command line asks for a target device (happens also when I want to run ios emulator). In my old project (older version of ionic-cli) the command does first open android-studio/ios and I can choose a target device in android-studio/ios.

So I want the native IDE to open first, like before, and then I can select a device or click on "rebuild" in the native IDE. I tried 'ionic cap run android -l --external --target=false' false but it doesnt work.


Solution

  • You have to use the --open flag: ionic cap run android -l --external --open.
