What I did is clone the repo, checkout angular-end, platform add android, build android.
Any ideas where this may be coming from? I am using the latest Android SDK.

Thanks,
George

Hey @georgeonofrei,

Thanks for letting us know. This seems to be related to NativeScript/nativescript-angular#444. I might need to set an explicit zone.js version in the package.json on this branch. Let me do some tinkering.

[tjvantoll]

Closed with 9181eb1. It was indeed the zone.js problem. Thanks again @georgeonofrei!

I confirm that the applied fix works. So now the app starts, although a bit slower than I expected.
But it works!
