Livesync doesn't seem to work for physical Android devices

We are trying out the new livesync functionality. It's working fine in a Genymotion Nexus 5 with:

tns livesync android --device 192.168.56.101:5555 --watch

If we make a change and run that command (for the first time), any changes are brought over (just like a run), and any subsequent changes are brought over quick-fast just as expected.

However, it doesn't work with a Nexus 5 connected via USB with:

tns livesync android --device 056a3ac9f0dd8332 --watch

Any changes made before the command was run are not brought over, and no subsequent changes are brought over. The app is "rebooted" on the device successfully, as if new changes should be applying, but the old version remains. Notably, tns run android works fine on both.

Hi @maknz,

Can you try to execute tns livesync android --device 056a3ac9f0dd8332 --watch --log trace and send us the output?

There's a great deal of logs being generated, all look to be related to permission errors. Here is an excerpt from the tail of the log. Please let me know if that's insufficient and I'll dump the full log somewhere outside Github.

Hi @maknz,

I've investigated your issue and found the problem. The fix will be included in 1.2.2 version of {N} CLI which is planned for the end of the week.

Hi @maknz,

the problem is resolved in {N} CLI version 1.2.2 or later. Related issue #742, closing this one, may be reopened if needed.
