Thanks for your time but it didn’t help after running the suggested command of native-run.

@jusliong guess this is one way to fix someone else’s mistakes or backwards incompatibility. Thanks!

What is the difference between native-run and cordova run??

Apparently since Ionic 5.0.0 to run your app in a device requires a utility called native-run

It’s a “Utility for running native binaries on iOS and Android devices and simulators/emulators.”
