Ionic run android does not install app in device

At the end of the ionic run android command, copy the full path to the .apk file that it shows, then enter:

adb -d install /path/to/the/apk/file.apk

The app will be installed, and if you run it, then repeat your ionic run android command with -l, even the interactive shell and debug console will work with the manually launched instance on your phone.
