NativeScript Preview

I’ve been loving using this app to work on mobile apps I’m developing with SvelteNative. The reason this review is 4 instead of 5 is because a bug which currently exists - if your code causes an error, the preview app will tell you as much. It also tells you that you don’t need to restart the app - once you fix the error in the code, the app should refresh. This, however, does not happen. The only way to fix this is to terminate the session completely and restart (new QR code, new session). That said, restarting the sessions only takes a few moments, so it’s not a world-ending inconvenience or anything: but I’d implore the developers to look into it. All in all, this is a development workflow tool that I’m super glad exists.

Been trying {N} on and off over the years, really wanted to like it given the impressive features and the ease of playground from the very start. But the documentations and --help results are just terrible, as times completely wrong. Then to add insult to injury the playground app currently at v6 is a behind the v7 boilerplate typescript vue example. Migrating to v8 further causes crash on launch with file:///app/bundle.js:18:83: JS ERROR ReferenceError: Can't find variable: TNS_ENV

All I ever see from scanning the QR code in the playground is a list of available components unless it’s just totally crashing. I’m on iOS 14.2. I have reinstalled several times.
