Build & Serve Fails

Problem description

Building (local and remote) and serving both fail. You can see the project I’m attempting to run here.

Building

The same error occurs when building with the CLI at 3.0.0-beta1 or at nightly (3.0.0-beta1-dev.20190225)

Serving

With CLI at 3.0.0-beta1, there is no error and it prints [iOS][iPhone9,1][1]: connected, but the developer app screen is completely blank and nothing prints to the console.

With CLI at nightly (3.0.0-beta1-dev.20190225), the following occurs when the developer app connects to the serve:

Output

Local Environment

• Windows 10
• Tabris Version: nightly (3.0.0-beta2-dev.20190225)

Could not load main module: Error: Could not parse ./src/app.js:TypeError: tabris._client.execute is not a function

This seems to indicate that the native platform is older than the CLI needs. This would be expected if you combine the beta1 developer app with the nightly build CLI. If you build your nightly-based app with debug flag and use the developer side console to enter the IP the CLI prints it should work.

If this turns out to be correct I could just add another check to ensure this kind of missmatach produces a better error.

@raphaelpreston What version do you have in package.lock?
