New nativescript+ng app created with version 2.2.1 of Nativescipt crashes on start

I’ve just tried to create a new app with angular 2 support using these commands:

tns create ProvaNg --ng

tns platform add ios

tns run ios --emulator

but I’m getting these error when the app starts in the emulator:

I’m currently running nativescript 2.2.1.

I’ve got a previous app generated some days ago and everything worked but the package.json is quite different.

I’ve tried to copy the old dependencies but I still get the same error…

Here’s the package.json file generated today:

  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "nativescript-dev-typescript": "^0.3.2",
    "typescript": "^1.8.10"
  }
}

I was running node 6 so I downgraded to the node 4 LTS version suggested on nativescript site but still without success…

Any suggestion I can use to fix the problem?

It appears the problem is in the zone.js npm module.

I am able to get working again with these steps:

rm -dr node_modules/zone.js/ npm install zone.js@0.6.12

Thanks ross-bradbury and SittingFox. Using 0.6.12 seemed to have fixed the issue for me too.

For anyone else who tripped on this, probably safer to change your ‘package.json’ and staple the zone.js version at 0.6.12.

-    "zone.js": "^0.6.12"
+    "zone.js": "0.6.12"
