I’ve created a basic application with ionic start.
Used the tab template.
Added the few basic configuration needed to work with

the package looks like this

  },

}

in the tab page I’ve added the following


import { App } from '@capacitor/app';
import { Network } from '@capacitor/network';
....
....
export class Tab1Page implements OnInit {

  constructor() {  }
  ngOnInit(): void {
    Network.getStatus().then((n)=>{console.log('network status', n)}).catch(e =>{console.log(e);});
    App.getInfo().then((n)=>{console.log('appinfo', n)}).catch(e =>{console.log(e);});
  }

}

Then I run

ionic build;
npx cap sync;
npx cap copy android;
npx cap open android;

I build the app to run on the phone… but with any

I tried to clean and build and to invalidate cahces.
But this is a sample app started… and its not working, what am I missing?

Thanks anyone

Try just running:

ionic cap sync android # This will build your web app and sync all in one step
ionic cap open android

Or just run everything in one command :slight_smile:

ionic cap build android # Builds, syncs, and opens

This section also suggests running “Sync Project with Gradle Files” in Android Studio.

Good morning!

I did the following:

ionic build
ionic cap build android

The app build successfully and it opens android studio.
I run it on the phone and when the app starts I get the folliwing

as you can see errors remains.
I am running on the following configuration:

java version “21.0.6” 2025-01-21 LTS
node v20.0.0
ionic CLI 7.2.0

Still getting the error with Sync Project with Gradle Files

Any suggestion is really appreciated

I found it out, sorry for bothering.
For those wondering what could be the reason:

double check your environment configuration if you are using nvm.
I have several version installed, and I mistakenly switched to wrong version 20, which I reported previously.

The correct version to use is >= 20.5, thus using 20.18 solved the problem.

  * 20.18.3 (Currently using 64-bit executable)
    20.0.0
    18.19.1
    18.13.0
    18.10.0
    16.20.2
    14.21.3
    14.15.0
    12.0.0
    10.13.0

I bet there should be a blocking message to prevent pitfall like this from happening, but I’ve been able to solve the problem.

Thanks anyone.

officially Capacitor supports node 20.x, should work with any version of it, I’m not aware of anything requiring 20.5 or newer.

I was having the same is issue and it works for me after using 20.18.3
