bug: www folder is missing with ionic react app using cordova plugin

Ionic version: ionic 4.0

Current behavior:

I am trying to create a ionic react app, using my custom cordova plugin. I use https://ionicframework.com/blog/ionic-cli-v5-brings-react-beta-support/ to create the app. After adding cordova plugin and running ionic build/cordova prepare for ios the www folder is empty. compared to ionic react app, if i create app for target angular it fills www folder correctly.

Expected behavior: ionic build/cordova prepare should add desired file including index.html to www folder which is not happening fo rreact-ionic app.

Steps to reproduce: ionic start myApp --type=react ionic cordova plugin list ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-custom => add cordova dependencies ionic cordova platform ios => add www folder but empty ionic cordova build ios ionic cordova prepare ios => www folder is still empty ionic cordova run ios => throws an error saying www/index.html not found.

Other information: If I execute same steps as above except first line as ionic start myApp --type=angular, it shows www folder correctly including index.html and works fine.

@stubclan - React builds to a build directory, not a www directory, use set webDir to that in your capacitor.config.json like this:

{
  "appId": "com.kensodemann.myweather",
  "appName": "my-weather-app",
  "bundledWebRuntime": false,
  "npmClient": "npm",
  "webDir": "build",
  "cordova": {}
}

Not sure I got here (I mean this page) b/c I had the same issue -10mins. ago.

I fixed it by changing webDir in ./capacitor.config.json from "www" to "build" (to match react build folder)
