Nativescript : IOS App crashes when versions are updated in package.json

This is my configuration - MacOS - Ventura 13.5, Xcode - 14

enter image description here

This is the package.json of my native script application which is working fine with no issues.

{
  "name": "mytestapp",
  "main": "./src/main.ts",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "~15.1.0",
    "@angular/common": "~15.1.0",
    "@angular/compiler": "~15.1.0",
    "@angular/core": "~15.1.0",
    "@angular/forms": "~15.1.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "~15.1.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "~15.1.0",
    "@angular/router": "~15.1.0",
    "@nativescript/angular": "^15.0.0",
    "@nativescript/core": "~8.4.0",
    "@nativescript/theme": "~3.0.2",
    "rxjs": "~7.6.0",
    "zone.js": "~0.12.0"
  },

  "devDependencies": {
    "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~15.1.0",
    "@angular/compiler-cli": "~15.1.0",
    "@nativescript/types": "~8.4.0",
    "@nativescript/webpack": "~5.0.12",
    "@ngtools/webpack": "~15.1.0",
    "typescript": "~4.8.4"
  }
}

I am facing a weird issue, when I try to upgrade the angular and native script package versions in the package.json

{
  "name": "mytestapp",
  "main": "./src/main.ts",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "~16.2.0",
    "@angular/common": "~16.2.0",
    "@angular/compiler": "~16.2.0",
    "@angular/core": "~16.2.0",
    "@angular/forms": "~16.2.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "~16.2.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "~16.2.0",
    "@angular/router": "~16.2.0",
    "@nativescript/angular": "^16.0.0",
    "@nativescript/core": "~8.5.9",
    "@nativescript/theme": "~3.0.2",
    "rxjs": "~7.6.0",
    "zone.js": "~0.13.1"
  },

  "devDependencies": {
    "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~16.2.0",
    "@angular/compiler-cli": "~16.2.0",
    "@nativescript/ios": "8.5.2",
    "@nativescript/types": "~8.5.0",
    "@nativescript/webpack": "~5.0.17",
    "@ngtools/webpack": "~16.2.0",
    "typescript": "~5.1.6"
  }
}

Solution

  • I got the same error. Just updated Nativescript CLI to the latest version(8.5.3) and everything works fine.

    npm install -g nativescript
ns clean
ns run ios
