Answer 1

Capacitor 3 was released 2 days ago, and your ionic cli version is not compatible with it, you need to update the ionic cli version

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

the first one is only needed if you were using the old ionic CLI, it was renamed to @ionic/cli long ago, but some people is still using it because they didn't know, so I put it here just in case

Still, when I am trying to build the app, I am getting the same error: [ERROR] An error occurred while running subprocess capacitor. capacitor.cmd run android --no-sync --target Pixel_3_API_29 exited with exit code 1. – Plascencia

answer was the key. looks that the new version of the capacitor has a lot of changes. Even I re-installed android studio to solve the problems that emerged after the updation. – Plascencia

It definitely was a hoop to jump through, then afterwards it complained about deleting the capacitor.config.ts. That was it, from there adding Android was not a problem. – Biopsy

This worked liked a charm, in addition I added ionic integrations enable capacitor at the end - thanks – Shir

This solution works with Ionic v7, thanks Additionally remember to build the project before(ng build) to generate the www directory. – Leverick
