Hello, I’m trying to run ionic capacitor run but it doesn’t find any device. Nor the emulator or physical android phone. Running it from android studio works. ```auto ionic capacitor run android --list [INFO] No native targets found. ``` ```auto adb devices List of devices attached R9MN3010VFJ device emulator-5554 device ``` ```auto avdmanager list 17:21:20 Available Android Virtual Devices: Name: Pixel_3a_API_30_x86 Device: pixel_3a (Google) Path: /home/baj/.android/avd/Pixel_3a_API_30_x86.avd Target: Google APIs (Google Inc.)

I’m having the same problem. I can see my emulator with `adb devices`, but can’t with `ionic capacitor run android --list` or `npx native-run android --list`. ---

this was a bug in native-run, has been fixed in latest version (1.4.0) since native-run is a dependency of @capacitor/cli, you can try to reinstall the CLI and it should pick the latest version, but make sure that was the case by checking the installed version in `package-lock.json` If not updated, you can force update the dependency with `npm update native-run --depth 6` ---

Thank you for your response! I have the same problem creating a new Ionic Capacitor project with: “@capacitor/cli”: “^3.0.2”, Reinstalling and `npm update native-run --depth 6` both did not work for me. `adb devices` shows a device. Tbh. I have no good idea how to approach that problem 🙂 Is there anything I can do to help solve it? ---

It does work with `ionic cap open android` (I used android-studio-canary) ---

If you are using capacitor CLI 3.0.2, it should show native-run errors now, do you see something in the terminal? ---

@jcesarmobile Was this issue solved? I encountered the same exact issue. I have capacitor/android - 3.1.1 ionic 6.16.3, using visual studio on a Mac. I am able to use ionic cap open android, but not ionic cap run android. I have both emulator and plugged in android showing on adb devices, but nothing comes up still on the terminal selection. Also tried npm update native-run --depth 6 and it is version 1.4 ---

native-run wasn’t compatible with SDK 30, that’s what was fixed in version 1.4.0, also capacitor wasn’t showing native-run errors and that was fixed in 3.0.2. So if you can’t run and are using those versions or newer you are hitting a different problem. Try running npx cap run command directly instead of the ionic one and it should show the error, or ever use npx native-run command directly. Then, if you share the errors maybe I can help you, and they usually link the native-run wiki with the common problems and how to fix them. ---

That means the Android SDK was not found. Did you install it? If you did, did you create a `ANDROID_SDK_ROOT` environment variable pointing to the SDK folder? > **[Environment variables  |  Android Developers](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/variables)** > > Learn how to set environment variables for Android Studio and the command-line tools that specify things like where the SDK is installed and where user-specific data is stored. ---

Those are pointing to Android folder, should point to the SDK folder, which is inside Android folder, so you should append `\sdk` to them. `ANDROID_HOME` is deprecated, you can remove it as you have `ANDROID_SDK_ROOT` ---
