No device target ID with capacitor run ios --list

Capacitor

Hi,

I want to run my ionic app with capacitor on my phsiscal device, an iPhone 13 mini. But I can not detect the target id.

With ionic cap run ios --list I got a “?”:

❯ ionic cap run ios --list
Name                                              | API        | Target ID

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SB 13 mini                                        | iOS 15.2.1 | ?
iPad (9th generation) (simulator)                 | iOS 15.2   | CB7E86E9-4DC4-4B2A-B57F-B13FE2191075

My workaround is to use “–open” and then build with xcode UI directly. This works. Only via CLI Is not possible.

Ionic info:

Ionic:

   Ionic CLI                     : 6.18.1 (/Users/sbj/.nvm/versions/node/v14.15.1/lib/node_modules/@ionic/cli)

   @angular/cli                  : 13.0.4
   @ionic/angular-toolkit        : 5.0.3

Any solution on this ?

I’ve got the same problem. Bump.

Upgrade cli and will work

5

capacitor, ionic/cli?

6 
npm uninstall -g ionic
npm install -g @ionic/cli

upgrade also node and npm

This is happening more often also when native-run doesn’t yet support the newest iOS version.
One workaround is as you mentioned using --open and run it via xcode. Like this live-reload also works.

ionic cap run ios --open -l --external

Currently native-run v1.7.2 doesn’t support iOS 17
