Description

**Description:**

I have a script that creates new apps in my multi-app project. After initializing a new app the script runs `ionic integrations enable capacitor --project=myproject` and `ionic capacitor add ios --project=myproject`. The problem is that this creates a (useless) `capacitor.config.json` file is created in the root of the project. Then the next time the I create a new app it throws the error `Cannot run init for a project using a non-JSON configuration file. Delete capacitor.config.ts and try again.`. As a quick fix I delete the `capacitor.config.json` file each time the app is created, but it probably shouldn't be created in the first place.

**Steps to Reproduce:**
Initialize a new app in a Multi-app project and run `ionic integrations enable capacitor --project=myproject`. Then create another app and run the command for that app.

**Output:**

**My `ionic info`:**
```
Ionic:

Ionic CLI : 7.2.0 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@ionic/cli)

Capacitor:

Capacitor CLI : 6.0.0
@capacitor/android : 6.0.0
@capacitor/core : 6.0.0
@capacitor/ios : 6.0.0

Utility:

cordova-res : not installed globally
native-run : 2.0.1

System:

NodeJS : v20.12.0 (/usr/local/Cellar/node@20/20.12.0/bin/node)
npm : 10.6.0
OS : macOS Unknown
```

**Other Information:**
The error states `Cannot run init for a project using a non-JSON configuration file.`. But even when creating JSON configuration file the cli command still tries to create it's own TS config file.
