bug: ERR_NO_DEVICE: with cli 5.0.1

Bug Report

Ionic version:

[x] 4.x

Current behavior:

Ever since upgrading to ionic cli 5 running my ionic app on my Android device is nearly impossible as I consistantly get the error

[native-run] ERR_NO_DEVICE: No hardware devices found. Not attempting emulator because --device was specified.

I am not sure if this is a ‘native-run’ issue but since i need it to launch the app on the Android device I thought here was the more appropriate.

I have had to go back to cli 4. so I can launch the app.

Expected behavior:

for my app to launch natively

Steps to reproduce:

$ ionic cordova run android --device --livereload Related code:

Oh, so it’s finding the device (bq Aquaris U2 Lite (API 25) UN045654), I assume that’s the target you wish to deploy to.

Could I also see the verbose logs for [native-run] when you try to use ionic cordova run android --device --livereload --verbose ?

Please also make sure you’re on the latest version of native-run, there’s been a few updates to both Android and iOS: npm i -g native-run@latest

Let me try those things. have tried. I updated to 0.2.3 and it still didn’t launch. Then without touching my phone or adjusting the cables or resetting the connection I did: $ ionic cordova run android --device --livereload --no-native-run and that worked. 🤔

also, Android Studio did detect the phone was connected.
