Cordova CLI checks if a mobile phone / tablet is connected to your development machine.

It defers to Cordova CLI to build a native app with the temporarily changed config.xml.

It temporarily changes the tag in /src-cordova/config.xml to point to the IP previously detected.

It starts up a development server on your machine.

Detects your machine’s external IP address.In order for you to be able to develop on a device emulator or directly on a phone (with Hot Module Reload included), Quasar CLI follows these steps: If you encounter any IDE errors then click on File > Invalidate caches and restart. Same goes for any other requested upgrades. DO NOT UPGRADE GRADLE as it will break the Cordova project.
