which version of the plugin you're using?

I already tried to solve these issues, but didn't find a right, see here

Don't have any further idea what's wrong and also not that much time for more investigation

[surdu]

I'm using the @next version

@hypery2k Looking at the issue you mentioned, looks like those are runtime issues, whereas this one is a build issue.

[hypery2k]

you're right, but to be honest, I tried to fix the runtime issue and now creating this one you wanted.
As for now I'm giving up. I've got no idea what's this gradle foo all about...

Please don't use the @nextversion it's only a dev preview

Using nativescript-fabric@1.0.6 and I have the same issue 😞

[hypery2k]

as already mentioned I don't exactly know why it's not working anymore.

[surdu]

I managed to make the build work by manually patching the platforms/android/app/build.gradle with the contents of platforms/android/build-tools/fabric-devtools/build.gradle as described here.

But now I have a runtime error ... 😞 :

Process com.my.app (pid 4339) has died: vis  +99TOP

I'm not familiar with gradle, but this hints me that maybe some gradle execution order was changed in the new NS ... ?

But even if this is fixed, then it's the runtime error ...
