Runs your project on a connected Android device or in a native Android emulator, if configured. This is shorthand for prepare, build and deploy. While your app is running, prints the output from the application in the console.

Options

* --watch - If set, when you save changes to the project, changes are automatically synchronized to the connected device.
* --device - Specifies a connected device on which to run the app.
* --emulator - If set, runs the app in a native emulator for the target platform, if configured. When set, you can also set any other valid combination of emulator options as listed by $ tns help emulate android.
* --release - If set, produces a release build. Otherwise, produces a debug build. When set, you must also specify the --key-store-* options.
* --key-store-path - Specifies the file path to the keystore file (P12) which you want to use to code sign your APK. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
* --key-store-password - Provides the password for the keystore file specified with --key-store-path. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
* --key-store-alias - Provides the alias for the keystore file specified with --key-store-path. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.    * --key-store-alias-password - Provides the password for the alias specified with --key-store-alias-password. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
* --justlaunch - If set, does not print the application output in the console.

Attributes

* <Device ID> is the index or name of the target device as listed by $ tns device android
* <Emulator Options> is any valid combination of options as listed by $ tns help emulate android

Did you see the actual issue and did you try to solve it already?

I mean, this file has a path of 247 characters where only 240 are allowed:

Error: File path too long on Windows, keep below 240 characters : D:\s_a_m\nativescript\firstProject\nativescript-plugin-firebase-demo\Firebase\platforms\android\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.google.android.gms\play-services-base\9.4.0\res\drawable-xhdpi-v4\common_google_signin_btn_text_dark_pressed.9.png

So I guess move the project up a folder and clone the demo app in a folder with a short(er) name.
