Develop Ionic and Capacitor apps in Nx with nxtend plugins

Hello everyone! I’ve been working on some Nx plugins that allow you to develop Ionic React and Capacitor apps in an Nx workspace. I believe that monorepos and cross-platform applications are a powerful combination, and I hope that these plugins can enable developers to do amazing things.

Here’s a blog post introducing these plugins: https://dev.to/devinshoemaker/build-cross-platform-applications-in-a-monorepo-with-nx-ionic-and-capacitor-6f8
And here is the official documentation site: https://nxtend.dev

Hi, Thank you very much for your work.
I firstly tried to setup monorepo with yarn workspace. Without build the app with ionic CLI (but with react-scripts) I succeed in develop on browser and build the app… but to develop on mobile (ios and android) we have to launch the command :
npx ionic capacitor run ios --livereload --external

I happily found your solution with NX. But before to start implementing those plugins, I took a look to the issues, and I saw this one still opened : running capacitor with live reload  · Issue #304 · nxtend-team/nxtend · GitHub

Do you confirm it’s not possible yet to develop and ‘livereload’ a project on mobile ?
