Upgrade to NX9/Angular9

[pegaltier]

Is it possible to upgrade the version of the dependencies to use the latest release of NX and Angular?

[NathanWalker]

@pegaltier We have not updated yet however please feel free to update Nx and Angular and report if any issue. Within the next week we'll be doing some upgrade passes with several components to see if there are any issues that need to be cleared.

@pegaltier Angular 9 with Ivy now works with {N} here NativeScript/nativescript-angular#2124 and we can now update the tooling to support latest Nx and v9. Putting in progress.

thoughts on progress/timeframe? Starting a new project and would like to make this the baseline.

cheers,

@abcfoundry Thanks - we will probably release Angular 9 support in next 2-3 days even if some of the dependencies needed haven't published yet (ie, nativescript-angular); we would instead have dep's link to a remote .tgz or other github for now. Also it's possible we can release support initially allowing developers to work with Angular 9 even if Ivy wasn't fully enabled yet for all the platforms (namely {N}) - main thing to clear is the xplat architecture which used "spread" on various arrays which Ivy doesn't like.

@abcfoundry this pr now has all the changes needed which I finished this weekend; just one dependency the architecture uses that we need to update which I will plan to do by first part of next week to get these updates out:
