There was a problem hiding this comment.
Code looks good, working for iOS, but I'm getting this problem when I try to use this with an Android device.
If I run npx cap run android I get the device as an option, and can select it to run a build - but once I provide it npx cap run android --target-name <targetName>, the command fails, seems it can't find that target name, and undefined appears as an option instead of the actual device name. For emulators it seems fine.
[error] Invalid target name: HMD Global Nokia 5.3.
Valid targets are: undefined [...], ...Is there any difference between the device names showing up as options in npx cap run and the ones used to filter for target-name?
