ionic cordova emulate
Emulate an Ionic project on a simulator/emulator
Build your app and deploy it to devices and emulators using this command. Optionally specify the --livereload
option to use the dev server from ionic serve
for livereload functionality.
This command will first use ionic build
to build web assets (or ionic serve
with the --livereload
option). Then, cordova build
is used to compile and prepare your app. Finally, the native-run
utility is used to run your app on a device. To use Cordova for this process instead, use the --no-native-run
option.
If you have multiple devices and emulators, you can target a specific one 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.
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.
Just like with ionic cordova build
, you can pass additional options to the Cordova CLI using the --
separator. To pass additional options to the dev server, consider using ionic serve
separately and using the --livereload-url
option.
