Ah perfect thanks! Just finished migrating Angular from 12 → 13 and Ionic from 5 → 6 and started running into build issues with Cordova. This article explains everything very well and fixed my issues! 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](https://github.com/ionic-team/angular-toolkit) or on the [cordova-builders package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ionic/cordova-builders) 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](https://ionicframework.com/docs/intro/upgrading-to-ionic-6) 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! ---

Hi, It seems that the “ionic-cordova-build” is used when building a cordova app. Still for a Cordova app, what is the purpose of target “ionic-cordova-serve” ? 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. ---
