(Android) CLI not refreshing app

[lukeramsden]

Running tns run android --emulator builds the app fine, opens the emulator, installs, but then doesn't open the app. Plus, when I make a change, it says it refreshes, kills the app, but when I open the app through the menu on the emulator it hasn't changed

Node version 6.11.1
NativeScript version 3.1.2

I have to run tns run android --emulator --clean --no-watch to get the changes to show up.

Hi @lukeramsden

It looks like #2825

May be you changed application bundle identifier in your package.json?

Can you please check if ids in <project dir>/package.json and <projectdir>/app/App_Resources/Android/app.gradle match?

Hi @lukeramsden,
in addition of @dtopuzovs suggestion, you can try running the same application using cli from next. You can install the latest version of cli like so: npm install -g nativescript@next`
Please tell us if the problem still persists after you've tried both suggestions.

@dtopuzov @Plamen5kov Turns out, the change to app.gradle when I first made the app wasn't committed due to me switching PCs. Thanks for the help.
