Here is a screenshot of iOS showing the global scope populated.

The same is happening when debugging an Android app with node inspector via tns debug android. I guess the problem is in the debugger backend.

Following-up on the Twitter dialog, it seems fixing this bug would enable "auto generation" of NativeScript plugins from native iOS and Android libraries. If that is the case, that's a great reason to see this bug addressed. Would make it much easier to expand NativeScript plugin library.

As far as I can remember, there were some technical difficulties to enable this functionality in the Android runtime with the old v8 remote debug protocol. Since android runtime v2.5, Chrome Debugging Protocol is the default one, we have to check if this change makes the issue easier to resolve.

This is addressed with NativeScript/android#714 which will be available in @next soon, and officially released in 3.0.0
