Unable to launch app: unknown flag --nolaunch_app

When I try to run the app from the Android Studio UI the flag --nolaunch_app at the end of the command. That is triggering the following error:

Waiting for target device...

I haven’t found any documentation about that flag in the bazel docs or in Google.

I managed to run the app by disabling the option “Use mobile-install”. But I’m still curious about the --nolaunch_app flag that is failing.

I have the same problem with Android Studio 4.0.1 on Windows 10, using Bazel 3.7.1, plugin 2020.06.25.0.3. Can build and install apps using the terminal with no problems
