the main problem is that none of .ts files transpiled into .js file.

More details:

• Android Platform

• CLI: 2.4.2

• Cross-platform modules: 2.4.3
• Runtime(s):2.4.1

Hi @Pourya8366,
Thank you for your interest in NativeScript.
I tested the given case, however was unable to reproduce this behavior. Could you try to follow the below given steps.

1. delete node_modules, platforms, hooks folders
2. clean npm cache with npm cache clear
3. try to rebuild the project using only tns run android

Regarding to the project could you give us some more info for the node version and whether you are using latest LTS version 6.9.2.

Hope this helps.

Thanks you very much, i updated the node and the problem solved!
