Validations and error

1. If the APK isn't generated on the first attempt, try running the command again. If issues persist, review your configuration.
2. Sometimes npx cap add android may not function as expected. In such cases, try running npx cap init first or refer to the Capacitor documentation for troubleshooting.
3. If [error] The web assets directory (.\dist) must contain an index.html file. It will be the entry point for the web portion of the Capacitor app. console error please configure capacitor.config.ts webDir with relative build dist directory
