We all need to start upgrading, Telerik has released v1.2.0 -- this is a important upgrade as it fixes several nasty bugs on IOS & Android! It also adds a lot of cool new features.
1. To upgrade the command line: npm install nativescript -g
(On a mac or linux you might need a "sudo" in front)
2. To Upgrade the platforms: tns platform upgrade ios or tns platform upgrade android
3. To upgrade the common modules; well that is still a pain. I would advice you to follow the same instructions I had you follow in the v1.0.0 to v1.1.0 upgrade, however if you have manually added anything to your "tns_modules" (which I would not recommend you do, you will want to copy or re-install it in your new tns_modules)
cd .. tns create testupgrade rd /S /Q <strong>YOURAPP</strong>\app\tns_modules move testupgrade\app\tns_modules <strong>yourapp</strong>\app rd /S /Q testupgrade
First things first, NativeScript command line plugin code works a lot better. You can now do:
tns plugin add android <somepluginname> and it works!
For those interested; my LiveSync plugin has already been updated for v1.2 with a slew of new features and a very simple install using the new tns plugin add android nativescript-livesync command.
Lots of new Features and here are some of the changes:
