npm install @ionic/angular-toolkit@latest keeps instaling v5
v6 is in testing status on npm.

I’m sure it’s in the works, but it might be beneficial to either link to this article in the README of the Angular Toolkit or on the cordova-builders package itself. I had to do a bit of digging to find this article myself and including it may help others in the future!
It may also be beneficial to include a “Cordova” section on the Ionic 6 upgrade guide with a link out to this article. Then it would be a part of the upgrade process for future users 
. Thanks again for all you do!

which file (name of file) should be made thess changes which contains “existing ionic-cordova-build”

When is this used ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards,
ionic-cordova-serve is used when running livereload on device for the older cordova integration.
Ok. Thanks a lot for your response.
