Do you have a hardware device connected? What is the output of adb devices -l?

[winszen]

Yes, it is connected!

Outras informações:
Em vez disso, "android nativo --app" funciona!

I was also experiencing this problem after updating CLI to version 5.0.0, it was resolved updated on node as it is commented here

I had the same problem, for me it worked to just remove the --device tag. Ionic thought it was deploying to an emulator but it suddenly popped up on my phone. So I guess ionic just does not recognize if a machine is a hardware device or emulator.

The builds end with the following text before the app deploys to my phone:

@winszen Do you have adb installed separately? What is the output of the where adb command? If it is a separate installation, I'm guessing this issue is related to https://github.com/ionic-team/native-run/issues/22, and if so, will be resolved with https://github.com/ionic-team/native-run/issues/22

[winszen]

Yes, also it worked for me without --device. Thank you all!

[PurpleEdge2214]

+1 Same error, same resolution successful

ionic cordova run android

[redplane]

So weird .
My situation is the same as @PurpleEdge2214 .

And according to what SjoerdHaerkens said:

I had the same problem, for me it worked to just remove the --device tag. Ionic thought it was deploying to an emulator but it suddenly popped up on my phone. So I guess ionic just does not recognize if a machine is a hardware device or emulator.

Should this be consider as a bug ?
