To Reproduce

• Clone this project https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-ui-samples/tree/master/listview
• Build it with tns build ios
• Open platforms/ios/demo.xcworkspace
• Attach a real device and run the project targeting that device
• App crashed on launching

Expected behavior
Adfter tns build ios I should be able to run the app via Xcode

Sample project

Additional context

[VladimirAmiorkov]

Workaround:

• Run the app via tns before opening Xcode using tns run ios --no-hmr. After that you can safely run the app via Xcode

@VladimirAmiorkov,

The main part of this issue is fixed and released with CLI 6.0.1 - #4846. Currently NativeScript CLI executes prepare, build and deploy commands without any hmr specific logic. However, the case when tns run ios command is executed and after that the .ipa is uploaded through Xcode on another device, is still not resoled. As this problem is in nativescript-dev-webpack repo, I'm closing this issue and opening an another there - NativeScript/nativescript-dev-webpack#1005
