Cannot run app on device [solved]

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

When I run the command ionic run android --device it seems the build is started but the app isn’t started on my device. adb devices lists my device and USB Debugging is enabled. There is no error message. Only the output below:

> ionic-hello-world@ ionic:build C:\Projects\web\Ionic2CLI-Meteor-WhatsApp
> ionic-app-scripts build "--device"

There is also no .apk created. There is a folder platforms\android but no subfolder build. The command ionic build android give me the same result as described above.

I don’t know why but running npm install -g cordovaagain fixed the problem. I had cordova installed before and I also tried it on the command line.
Now I’m getting this warning but it works.
