First, add Android:

ionic capacitor add android

ionic capacitor copy android && cd android && ./gradlew assembleDebug && cd ..

Then, APK will be at the path:

android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

If you want to run on the device directly from the command line:

ionic capacitor copy android && cd android && ./gradlew assembleDebug && ./gradlew installDebug && cd ..
