How do I run an ionic/capacitor application on an Android and iOS device with live reload?

edit

To run an Ionic/Capacitor application on an Android and iOS device with live reload, follow the steps below:

1. Make sure you have installed the latest version of Ionic CLI and Capacitor CLI. If not, run the following commands to install them globally:

npm install -g @ionic/cli
npm install -g @capacitor/cli

1. Create a new Ionic app by running the following command in your terminal:

ionic start myApp blank --capacitor

1. Add Android and iOS platforms to your Capacitor project:

npx cap add android
npx cap add ios

1. Open your project in a text editor and navigate to the src/app/app-routing.module.ts file. Replace the existing code with the following:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { HttpClientTestingModule } from '@angular/common/http/testing';

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import('./home/home.module').then((m) => m.HomePageModule),
  },
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes), HttpClientTestingModule],
  exports: [RouterModule],
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}

1. Save the changes and close the text editor.

2. Next, in your terminal, run the following commands:

ionic build
npx cap sync

1. Connect your Android or iOS device to your computer and make sure it is recognized.

2. To run the application on Android, run the following command:

ionic capacitor run android -l --external

This will start the application on your Android device with live reload enabled.

1. To run the application on iOS, use the following command:

ionic capacitor run ios -l --external

This will start the application on your iOS device with live reload enabled.

You should now be able to modify your code and see the changes reflected in real-time on your device.
