NativeScript 2.1 released (and common issues/fixes)

WooHoo, 2.1 is finally released.  Lots of things fixed and several other cool new things added; here is some of the changes in v2.1;

• TNS Clean command!
• Fix for faster Building (really affects Angular 2 builds)
• Fix for Google library and default Config issues.
• several naviation crashing issues fixed
• several LiveSync issues fixed
• Lots of other fixes

Now to install this awesome new release in four simple steps:

1. Install the new version of the NativeScript command line
   • npm install -g nativescript@latest
2. Remove the existing platform(s)
   • tns platform remove android
     AND/OR
   • tns platform remove ios
3. Add the platform(s) you need
   • tns platform add android
     AND/OR
   • tns platform add ios
4. Install the common core modules
   • npm install tns-core-modules@latest --save

A couple issues have cropped up in NativeScript 2.1.0 -- Here are the issues with the solutions

1. If you see "error: constructor RunTimeHelper in class RuntimeHelper cannot be applied to given types" or "com.tns.Runtime runtime = new RuntimeHelper(this).initRuntime();" or "reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length"

• This means one of the above is out of sync with the others; all three pieces of the puzzle MUST be 2.1.0 or later.   This is one of those upgrades that requires everything to be in sync.

2. If your app fails to deploy to the phone or android emulator

• This means one of the above is out of sync with the others; again all three NativeScript pieces MUST be 2.1.0 or later.

3. Missing CFBundleShortVersionString / CFBundleVersion on iOS

• Open xcode, then open up the file platforms/ios/Internal/NativeScript.framework/Info.plist then add both the keys, and set them to 2.1.0
• Or once iOS 2.1.1 runtimes has been released; upgrade to the 2.1.1 iOS runtimes.

4. Error: java.lang.runtimeException:Unable to create application
with next error being   Java.lang.ClassNotFoundException com.tns.FragmentClass

• npm install tns-core-modules@latest --save
  Then you can build/run it as normal.

5, No errors, but no deploy either (android)

• npm remove -g nativescript
• npm cache clean
• npm install -g nativescript
• tns platform clean android   <-- Done inside your project
