NativeScript Simulator LiveSync for Embedders

This repository provides a simple script for NativeScript embedders to "livesync" their NativeScript apps to their iOS simulators. It's designed to be invoked after the ns prepare ios command.

Prerequisites

Node.js
NativeScript CLI

Setup

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/tdermendjiev/ns-embed-livesync

Navigate to the directory:

cd ns-embed-livesync

Install the required npm packages:

npm install

Modify the placeholders in the index.js script:
- projectFilesPath: The path to your NativeScript project's iOS platform files. For example:
```
const projectFilesPath = "/path/to/your/project/platforms/ios/yourprojectname/app";
```
- appId: The bundle identifier of your app. For example:
```
const appId = 'com.mycompany.MyCoolApp';
```

Usage

Prepare your NativeScript app for iOS:

ns prepare ios

Run the script:

node index.js

This will sync your app's content to all running iOS simulators.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, ensure:

Your iOS simulators are running.
You've correctly set the projectFilesPath and appId in the index.js script.
You've installed all required npm packages.
