Android emulator incorrectly identified platform as desktop

Whenever I run the dev server to test on an Android emulator on @capacitor/cli ^3.2.5, @ionic/angular ^6.0.0, and @ionic/cli ^6.18.1, the emulator tells Platform in @ionic/angular that it’s a desktop. I can run it on a real android device and it works perfectly fine. Not sure what’s going on here.

Here’s the command I run to launch.

ionic capacitor run android -l --external --port=8102

Whether I’m using this command or running through Android Studio manually, I get the same result within the emulator. If it matters, all the emulators I have are API 30.

This was not an issue on Capacitor 2 with Ionic 5 and only came up after updating both. I did not dig into it enough to know whether it was Ionic or Capacitor being updated that caused this.

Any idea why it’s happening?

Thank you

P.S.
