Nativescript: tns-core-modules@next is giving me errors.

_From @9thwall on October 25, 2016 18:28_

I'm getting this error when I upgrade to tns-core-modules@next.
Aside from the bugs of 2.3, the app works fine if I downgrade back.

Are there any deprecated changes that I should know about the update?

Hey @9thwall,

Please delete node_modules folder and execute tns run android to fix this.

[9thwall]

Hi, thank you for the advice.
I followed your instructions and now I'm getting this error.

app/inc/app.service.ts(4,27): error TS2656: Exported external package typings file 'C:/Users/9thwall/Desktop/Projects/app/node_modules/nativescript-plugin-firebase/firebase.d.ts' is not a module. Please contact the package author to update the package definition.

Are there scenarios where plugins that are still in compatible with this update? Will I need to wait for Eddy to update the plugin in order for this to work?

[9thwall]

Ok I was able to resolve this by upgrading typescript. I then was getting some other errors..

Execution failed for task ':asbg:runAstParser'.

which I resolved by rm -rf platforms/ node_modules/ lib/ hooks, tns install, and tns run android. Suggested by tjvantoll.

Now the app is loading again but I made a full circle back to the same original error. lol!

UPDATE: I was able to resolve this by creating a brand new app with @next and then add each component, service, and plugins one by one. Still a mystery to me why I wasn't able to upgrade my existing app but I'm happy to say it is all working now.
