Nativescript: updating tns-android to 3.0.0

Created on 5 May 2017 · 5Comments · Source: NativeScript/NativeScript

I have tried to update a project to 3.0.0 version but noticed that the tns-android won't update to 3.0.0. I created a new hello world project (JS, TS & angular) but the platform only installs in 2.5.0. Also, when I try to run the TS or ng project, it shows this:

t-dev-android-snapshot.js

TypeScript compiler failed with exit code 1

Any help?

Thanks in advance

Another thing I've seen is you may need to update your tsconfig.json; I had a similar issue and found it's an issue with typescript after update See this link

TypeScript

TypeScript projects need to reference the ES6 and DOM libraries. Add this to your tsconfig.json:

``` json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"lib": ["es6", "dom"],
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"": [
"./node_modules/tns-core-modules/",
"./node_modules/*"]
}

Hi @emmanuel128,

Make sure that you have installed latest CLI. You could check that by running tns --version. If there is a different version that 3.0, you could upgrade the CLI with npm install nativescript --g.
Then try to create new project with tns create MyApp and to build it tns run android.

If you already upgraded the CLI you could try the following steps and to add tns-android menually.

tns platform remove android
tns platform add android
tns run android

It worked for JavaScript, but with angular it shows this:
