v5.0.0

Breaking

• Existing applications that are using older Android runtime (not 5.0.0 one), but are built with CLI 5.0.0, may experience some changes - until now CLI was always passing parameter to gradle -PsupportVersion=26.0.0-alpha1. As CLI no longer passes this version, the default one from build.gradle will be used (for example 27.0.1). Check this issue for more information. In case you want to use the old version in your application, add the following in your app.gradle:

project.ext.supportVersion = "26.0.0-alpha1"

• CLI will not allow building for iOS with Xcode 8 or below. Check this issue for more information.
• CLI no longer support macOS Sierra and below. In case you are using such OS, CLI will print error message on each command. It will not stop you, but certain features will not work and we will not investigate them. tns debug ios --inspector will not work on macOS Sierra and below.
• You will not be able to build applications for Android without installing Android SDK 28. You can install Android SDK 28 and build tools 28 by executing the following commands:

$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;28.0.1"
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "platforms;android-28"

• tns create command is interactive now. In case you are using it in CI environment where the shell is marked as TTY (Travis for example), the CI will hang as it will wait for selection. You can get back the old behavior by passing --js: tns create <name> --js. In case the terminal is not interactive, CLI will use the old behavior. More information is available in this issue.
