"Expected "/*", "//" or "{" but "<" found" after adding nativescript-plugin-firebase

Hey there

After adding the nativescript firebase plugin using tns plugin add nativescript-plugin-firebase, when I run tns run ios --emulator the first time it works fine, but every following time, I get:

Found peer TypeScript 1.8.2 
Expected "/*", "//" or "{" but "<" found.

Clearing out the platforms folder does the trick, but it also breaks livesync which is a real shame. Am I missing something obvious here?

Looks like this was a problem with Xcode 7.3, see workaround:
NativeScript/nativescript-cli#1639
