Flags & their usage

--no-hmr - disable HMR (enabled by default)

--env.verbose — prints verbose logs and the internal config before building

--env.replace=from:to — add file replacement rules. For source files (.js and .ts) this will add a new alias to the config, for everything else, this will add a new copy rule. Example: --env.replace=./src/environments/environment.ts:./src/environments/environment.prod.ts would add an alias so when you import { environment } from './environments/environment.ts' it will resolve & import from ./environments/environment.prod.ts.

--env.appComponents — allows passing additional App Components for android. For example, if you have a custom activity in myCustomActivity.ts you can pass --env.appComponents=myCustomActivity.ts.

--env.production — enable a production mode (will minify the code)

--env.report — generate a report with the BundleAnalyzerPlugin

--env.profile — generate a webpack.stats.json to analyze on https://webpack.github.io/analyse/

--env.watchNodeModules — enable watching node_modules for changes. Useful when debugging plugins and making changes directly in node_modules.

--env.e2e — enables E2E (end-to-end) mode — this currently enables the testID property in @nativescript/core

--env.appPath — path to the app source (same as appPath in the nativescript.config.ts)

--env.appResourcesPath — path to App_Resources (same as appResourcesPath in the nativescript.config.ts)

--env.nativescriptLibPath — path to the currently running CLI’s library.

--env.android — true if running on android

--env.ios — true if running on ios

--env.platform=<platform> — for specifying the platform to use. Can be android or ios, or a custom platform in the future.

--env.hmr — true if building with HMR enabled
