This issue has been handled in the nativescript-dev-webpack plugin to use platform remove/add instead of clean-app command: NativeScript/nativescript-dev-webpack#116

@dtopuzov, @rosen-vladimirov, @yyosifov, @sis0k0

What do you think to delete the magic clean-app command, If we are going to stick to this behavior?

[sis0k0]

@vchimev,

Let's just deprecate it instead of removing it.

[pkoleva]

Let's decide what to do with the option and the close the issue.

[sis0k0]

Let's keep it. I hope we can use it in the future instead of platform-remove, platform-add before bundling. There are some issues now with the android runtime which requires a bit more cleanup.

Closing this issue, since the original issue is fixed:
Unable to run with webpack and CLI from master for android
If we want to do something with magic clean-app command let's log separate issue.
