[bug] Angular on android mobile : Waiting for your frontend dev server to start

[perococco]

Describe the bug

After setting the required environment variable and creating the application with

cargo create-tauri-app angular-app -m npm -t angular -y
cd angular-app
npm install
npm run tauri android init

the command npm run tauri android init keeps displaying Waiting for your frontend dev server to start ... and nothing happens on the device.

If I perform the exact same commands but use the template vue-ts instead of angular, it works as expected : the application starts on my device. The beginning of the output in this case is as follow

After the "Locking ..." message, some compilation is performed for a while and then the application is sent to the device (Performing Streamed Install is displayed in the console). This step does not seems to occur when using the angular template.

Reproduction

Although, the applications are created by using standard commands, the code is available at :

https://github.com/baracil/tauri_sandbox

Expected behavior

The command npm run tauri android dev should launch the application on the android device.

I think angular is a little special in that case. If angular runs the serve command, it is only available on the local host. To make it available for the dev server IP displayed in the log, you could try to add --host=0.0.0.0 to the serve command.

"start": "ng serve --host=0.0.0.0",
