How to build application in different environment or modes(staging, production, qa, etc)?

As there is a bug in Ionic cli due to which we cannot pass flag variables for commands (See #4669). To build application in different modes we need to use vue-cli-service to build and then use the built app using capacitor copy command further.

Follow following instructions:

1. Manually build the application using vue-cli-service: npx vue-cli-service build --mode=sandbox

2. Copy web assets to the native project without building the app: ionic capacitor copy ios --no-build

3. Open the Android Studio / XCode project: ionic capacitor open android
   ionic capacitor open ios
