I tried npm audit fix but no success

Answer 1

ionic capacitor add android is used to add "android" in the ionic project, not to integrate capacitor.

To integrate capacitor you need to do these steps

npm install @capacitor/core

npm install @capacitor/cli --save-dev

npx cap init

Answer 2

Try this one

Open VS Code and type

1.ionic start

• If it ask any question just put these(no,React,myApp,sidemenu,no)

2.cd myApp => ionic build

3.npm install @capacitor/android

4.npx cap add android

5.npx cap open android
