Nativescript app throws error on device after migrating from my Intel Mac to an M2-Mac

This is really weird. I got an M2 Mac and made a data migration form my old Intel machine to the new one.

Now, my nativescript-app doesn't work on the new machine anymore. Specifically, it throws an error when I run ns run ios --device 0000000000. The error is:

NativeScript encountered a fatal error:

Interestingly, when I run the app on a simulator, it works. The error only occurs on a real device. I also tried to run it from my old Mac again, to make sure there's no error there - and the app's running fine as well. Next, I tried running it directly from XCode instead of using the ns run command. Same error.

Some guys on the Discord-Channel think that there might be an Apple security thing in place that prevents the app from running. But the error doesn't really suggest that.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • The problem was apparently a bug on Apple's side in the current XCode Version (15.3). It is related to an env variable definition and there's a fix for this.

    Also, it will be fixed in the upcoming NS-Version (8.7).
