Describe the bug The embedded package.json file that is supposed to be generated isn't always generated. If it isn't created then the app can't startup as it tries to find a index/main file and the only file present on the device now is bundle/vender.

To Reproduce Randomly fails

Expected behavior Package.json is created

Additional context Manually Creating a package.json file in the src folder with the following:

{
"name": "Some Name",
"id": "** Needs to Match your nativescript.config.ts file **",
"appResourcesPath": "App_Resources",
"android": {
"v8Flags": "--expose_gc",
"markingMode": "none"
},
"main": "main.tns.js"
}

Allows you to run the app again.
