native-run
native-run is a cross-platform command-line utility for running native app binaries (.ipa and .apk files) on iOS and Android devices. It can be used for both hardware and virtual devices.
This tool is used by the Ionic CLI, but it can be used standalone as part of a development or testing pipeline for launching apps. It doesn't matter whether the .apk or .ipa is created with Cordova or native IDEs, native-run will be able to deploy it.
Install
native-run is written entirely in TypeScript/NodeJS, so there are no native dependencies.
To install, run:
npm install -g native-run
