I'm updating an existing plugin in order to make it compatible with the upcoming nativescript release.

All references to the tns-core-modules package have been replaced with @nativescript/core.

The released documentation says that the new libraries should be retro-compatible with older versions. Unfortunately in this case something must have changed (related to the view lifecycle), and the plugin is not 100% working.

That's why I attempted a full migration of it's dependencies, but the build process was not possible due to some errors:

node_modules/@nativescript/core/ui/frame/index.d.ts:494:38 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'ModuleContext'.

494 export function reloadPage(context?: ModuleContext): void;

...

map-view.ios.ts:80:40 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'WeakRef'.

80     public static initWithOwner(owner: WeakRef<MapView>): MapViewDelegateImpl {

node_modules/@nativescript/core/ui/styling/style/index.d.ts:31:39 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'WeakRef'.

31     constructor(ownerView: ViewBase | WeakRef<ViewBase>);

I can build the plugin by setting skipLibCheck: true in tsconfig.json. It makes the plugin compile, but the problem comes out later at runtime. So it must be solved to complete the migration.

Any hints?

Thank you!

Maybe it's not the 100% recommended solution, but in case that the same problem does happen to you, add this line to your tsconfig.json:

        "types": [
            "@nativescript/core",
        ],
