Current Behavior

When npx cap run iOS targets a simulator, everything works as expected.

When npx cap run iOS targets a physical device, the command gives a success output (see below), but the app is not deployed on the device.

Is there a way to run the command in a verbose mode ?

My setup uses XCode Version 14.2 (14C18), might it be linked ? (though it works fine when using the “run” button in XCode)

Expected Behavior

The app should be deployed to the phone.

Code Reproduction

I get the exact same result with @capacitor/create-app;
