I encountered the same issue and haven't found the root cause yet. My guess is that Quasar might not have successfully created the service in Capacitor mode. However, you can achieve the desired functionality indirectly using the following steps:

1.Start the app service with a specified port(same port as the second command)
quasar dev -p 9000 -m capacitor -T android
2.Start another service
In a new command line window, run the default development service (default port 9000):
quasar dev
This way, the app in Android Studio will be able to run and support hot reload.

Cannot reproduce.
Can you guys share more info on your setup? What OS are you using (and version). Also, what Android Studio are you on etc etc.

Hello,
I got the same problem with a real android device. The dev server starts on spa but not with capacitor-android.
I was able to make it work again by downgrading to V0.15 launching quasar dev then re-upgrading to current version.
The commands are:
npm i -g [email protected]
quasar dev -m capacitor -T android
npm i -g quasar-cli

I have no explanation why it stopped working, then why it started working again :(

My config:

• Android studio 2024.2.1
• @quasar/app-vite 2.0.5 (@quasar/cli 2.4.1)
• quasar-cli 0.17.26
• Linux ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
