Unable to create application

After doing a really basic install (just the hello world TypeScript project, and running ns plugin add @nativescript-community/ble), I get some weird error when I launch my application on the android emulator. This does not happen when I remove the BLE package. I am using NativeScript 8.0.0, and am quite new to this ecosystem, so please let me know if I omitted some of the necessary information.

Edit: some information which might be useful

Platform: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Node version: 12.21.0 NPM version: 6.14.11 ns doctor: no issues AVD: Android 11.0 x86 (Google APIs), API level 30 java -version:

openjdk version "1.8.0_282"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_282-8u282-b08-0ubuntu1~18.04-b08)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.282-b08, mixed mode)

The stacktrace:

An uncaught Exception occurred on "main" thread.
Unable to create application com.tns.NativeScriptApplication: com.tns.NativeScriptException: metadata file (treeStringsStream.dat) couldn't be opened! (Error: 2)

@Mahtaran sorry but it does not seem to be related to this plugin. you should first clean and rebuild. and if it still fails seek help on discod.

Hi! Thanks for your quick reply. I thought it would be related to this plugin since it only happened when I added this plugin, and disappeared as soon as I removed it. Tried cleaning and rebuilding a bunch of times, did not really have any effect, but I will try seeking help on Discord.

@mahtaran did you get this fixed ?

@mahtaran did you get this fixed ?

To be honest, no clue, I quit the job where I used NativeScript over two years ago. I remember never getting it to work quite as I wanted to though.

@mahtaran sorry to hear it didn't work out. thanks for closing issues though. wish you the best
