Specify additional steps needed before precapcopyweb is run

[diegodlh]

The readme explains that until ionic-team/capacitor#1892 is integrated in Capacitor 3 one can run precapcopyweb instead of npx cap copy web. However, I understand some steps are required beforehand, which are not specified in the readme file.

1. Build the web assets, using ionic build for example.
2. (optional) Manually copy the web assets from the build/ directory to a separate www directory, so www-specific files are not copied from the build directory to android and ios directories. Change the webDir parameter to www in capacitor.config.json, so precapcopyweb knows where to place its www-specific files.
3. Run precapcopyweb.

Is my understanding correct? Maybe we could add these steps to the readme for newbies like me?

My bad. I just realized that step 2 is useless because ionic capacitor copy will copy files from the directory specified in the webDir directory to either android or ios directories, instead of from the build directory.

So, as far as I understand, there would be currently no way to avoid www-specific files from being copied over to these platform-specific directories.

Closing. Sorry for the noise.
