After a couple livesync the app becomes unresponsive then I will need to do one of the following hard close the app (fails to reopen sometimes) , hard close + uninstall or try updating one of the components until the app restarts then repeat the above steps until the eod

I am facing the same issue after implementing some before-prepare, after-prepare, and before-watch hooks that writes files – and based on the logs supplied above, it appears @triniwiz also had a custom hook running, with output stating that was copying the entitlements file.

However, my environment is pre-4.0:

• CLI: 3.4.3
• tns-core-modules: 3.4.1
• Runtime(s): 3.4.1

After starting the app with tns run ios, making a modification to a file that will cause another file to be written to during the before-prepare hook will cause 2 syncs (first with the user modified file, second with the hook modified file). The second sync occurs just after a refresh was triggered, at which point the CLI stalls. Exiting the simulator causes the CLI to become responsive again.

I’ve also noticed in my environment that Android does not suffer from this issue; the app refreshes twice no problem. I cannot share my current project but time permitting I can try to produce a sample project. Hope this helps.

EDIT: Sounds possibly related to #3410

I confirm on my side that custom hooks does break the livesync functionnaly on {N} 4.1 😞
