$ ionic cordova emulate
Emulate an Ionic project on a simulator or emulator
Synopsis
$ ionic cordova emulate [<platform>]
Details
Like running cordova emulate directly, but also watches for changes in web assets and provides live-reload functionality with the --livereload option.
For Android and iOS, you can setup Remote Debugging on your emulator with browser development tools: https://docs.ionic.io/tools/developer/#remote-debugging
Just like with ionic cordova build, you can pass additional options to the Cordova CLI using the -- separator.
