             Summary: `cordova serve` should report that it is unsupported
                 Key: CB-6564
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6564
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: CLI
            Reporter: Shazron Abdullah


https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5475?focusedCommentId=13982020&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13982020

See CB-5475

The docs say it should work, and users will trust the CLI documentation that they can "cordova serve" and test with Android. This is especially problematic as it works fine with iOS. If there is not a fix planned for this, then the CLI should clearly warn folks (especially since the bug causes Chrome to lock up pretty fiercely) and I'd even suggest that the code behind serve specifically block a call to /adroid/www. Or even better, return a simple static message saying it is not supported.

Basically my problem is that users have no way of knowing this isn't working, and until a proper fix/alternative exists, we should be more proactive about letting the user know
