NativeScript Build Helper
Basic NPM package for helping on automate releasing of NativeScript Apps
** CURRENTLY A PRE-RELEASE **
Requirements
- Node 4+
- NativeScript 2.5+
- Git versioning system
- fastlane (if automatic upload is need)
Installation
npm install @holisticon/nativescript-buildhelper --save-dev
Or if you want to use the development version (nightly build), which maybe not stable!:
npm install @holisticon/nativescript-buildhelper@next --save-dev
Usage
For those who haven't deployed any apps in v2.4 of NativeScript; one of the new features that is turned on by default is SnapShots. Now most the time this is a AWESOME thing, however occasionally this can cause issues. For example I have one app of mine that this crashes at startup when using SnapShots.
Now the docs do list how to disable snapshots; but it is a lot easier for me to find the notes on my own site than trying to figure out which doc has the info.
The environmental variable you need to adjust is: TNS_ANDROID_SNAPSHOT
0 = Force Snapshots off always
1 = Force snapshots on (including in debug mode)
Unset = Snapshots only in Release mode
