Run on Android

Run builds, validates, installs, and launches the configured application on an Android physical device or emulator:

cargo ferry run android --device SERIAL

Use cargo ferry devices --platform android for the exact serial. Omitting it is safe only when discovery returns exactly one compatible target. Install flags remain opt-in:

cargo ferry run android --device SERIAL --reinstall --grant-permissions

RustFerry does not terminate an existing process unless --terminate-existing is present. --logs collects one finite, application-filtered snapshot after launch; it does not leave a background stream running:

cargo ferry run android --device SERIAL --terminate-existing --logs

Use the separate Android logs command for history or a continuous JSON stream. A successful Run report requires the official platform tools to confirm install and launch; a built APK alone is not launch evidence.

No Android device or emulator was available in the current validation environment, so launch behavior was not observed on hardware or an emulator.
