Capacitor could not find the web assets directory
See original GitHub issueDescription:
Trying to run on iOS on a blank project but getting the below error. From the docs as I understand it correctly I just need to run that command without any previous commands.
Steps to Reproduce:
❯ ionic start
Pick a framework! 😁
Please select the JavaScript framework to use for your new app. To bypass this prompt next time, supply a value for the
--type option.
? Framework: Angular
Every great app needs a name! 😍
Please enter the full name of your app. You can change this at any time. To bypass this prompt next time, supply name,
the first argument to ionic start.
? Project name: test
Let's pick the perfect starter template! 💪
Starter templates are ready-to-go Ionic apps that come packed with everything you need to build your app. To bypass this
prompt next time, supply template, the second argument to ionic start.
? Starter template: blank
✔ Preparing directory ./test - done!
✔ Downloading and extracting blank starter - done!
? Integrate your new app with Capacitor to target native iOS and Android? Yes

[error] Capacitor could not find the web assets directory "/Users/marvinheilemann/Downloads/test/www".
Please create it and make sure it has an index.html file. You can change
the path of this directory in capacitor.config.json (webDir option).
You may need to compile the web assets for your app (typically 'npm run build').

Simple “ionic build” worked for me!
@muuvmuuv Can you link to the docs you’re referencing?
The workaround is to do what it says:
But it’s not the best user experience. It’s certainly something I’d like to address for Capacitor 3.
