Options can be configured in project.json when defining the executor, or when invoking it. Read more about how to configure targets and executors here: https://nx.dev/reference/project-configuration#targets.

project.json:

{
  "name": "mobile",
  //...
  "targets": {
    //...
    "run-android": {
      "executor": "@nrwl/react-native:run-android",
      "options": {}
    }
  }
}

nx run mobile:run-android

Examples

To see all the avaiable emulators, run command:

emulator -list-avds

The deviceId option allows you to launch your android app in a specific device/simulator:

    "run-android": {
      "executor": "@nrwl/react-native:run-android",
      "options": {
        "deviceId": "Pixel_5_API_30"
      }
    }
