Nativescript: unable to create application… Failed to load module: …app/main.js

Question

I'm fiddling with the sample-Groceries application, and I've installed NativeScript and angular 2 on two machines now and on both, I get the same error message when I try to do:

tns run android --emulator

IOS runs without problems but on Android, I get the following error:

unhandled exception java.lang.runtimeexception unable to create application... Failed to load module: ...app/main.js

(see image) I also tried an older API version 22.

The only answers I found were about changing the app.js, but I can't find that file.

Hope someone can help.

This is actually a pretty simple issue to fix; Enter your the app folder and type:

npm install tns-core-modules@latest --save

And then you need to rebuild you app and you should be good to go.
