Preview NativeScript projects on your device – from basic native user interface elements like buttons, switches and sliders, to 2d/3d canvas renderings.
Easy to Use and Super Useful
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.
United StatesReally wanted to like it
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
United StatesApp crashing and not updating
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.
United StatesIncredible piece of technology
This app has revolutionized how easy it is to get mobile app development started. Sure there are some errors you have to recognize and deal with, but that's what you get when doing development. On some occasions, there are errors that are unfixable generated by your own code (never ending loops, deep underlying errors, etc) but they can be solved by just uninstall and reinstalling. :)
United StatesFirst thing I tried crashed the app
It spit out a mile long error and then says “no need to close the app, just fix the error” and now won’t work...
United StatesKeeps crashing
I created a new project using one of the provided templates and ran a preview through nativescript sidekick but after playing around on the app preview it suddenly showed an error that says “oops, something is wrong” with a long error message. After that, I couldn’t preview anything anymore. Just crashes and shows the same error message.
United StatesCool when it works.
Constantly crashes now.
