ionic capacitor run

Run an Ionic project on a connected device

$ ionic capacitor run [platform] [options]

ionic capacitor run will do the following:

• Perform ionic build (or run the dev server from ionic serve with the --livereload option)
• Run capacitor run (or open IDE for your native project with the --open option)

When using --livereload with hardware devices, remember that livereload needs an active connection between device and computer. In some scenarios, you may need to host the dev server on an external address using the --external option. See these docs for more information.

If you have multiple devices and emulators, you can target a specific one by ID with the --target option. You can list targets with --list.

For Android and iOS, you can setup Remote Debugging on your device with browser development tools using these docs.
