How to run Hello world

[Seyfor]

I buy AppBuilder for one month to see what it offers when building NativeScript with Angular 2. I can not start debugging application in Simulator. I am trying to find button run app-name in simulator but there is no such link. Doc.
I am already running 2 emulators: one Android SDK and one Visual Studio (VS menu AppBuilder-> Run emulator)

Where can I find it? Or more important how can I debug hello world from visual studio in Emulator?

I spent 50$ and get nothing. I even install windows 10 and try to run it with new windows. (Spend a week for this.) Please help me, I will not spend another 50$ and get nothing again. I even install and try Xamarian, but I would really like to stick with Telerik. But only if things are working. I also try OpenSource NativeScript, but what a pain was this. I want to see a VS project and a simple debug button to debug in emulator. That would be a good user experience.

Hi Matjaž,

Please note that the documentation article that you are linking to is from the Cordova development section. The documentation articles for NativeScript in AppBuilder is available in this section:
NativeScript Mobile App Development

NativeScript apps can't be run in a web-based simulator like the one used for Cordova apps because they are not working in the same way Cordova apps do (running JS in a WebView). Using AppBuilder, you can run your app in a device emulator:
Run Your NativeScript Apps in the Native Emulators

or deploy the app directly on a device:
Run Your NativeScript Apps on Devices

Thanks to AppBuilder LiveSync, you can quickly sync your changes on the target device without doing a full re-deployment of the app.

I should note that, as mentioned in the documentation for native emulators, when using the Visual Studio extension, you can only run an Android emulator, because in order to open an iOS emulator, you need to be working on a Mac.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you.

I get error in VS (I also opened support ticket for this):

Hi Matjaž,

I see that you got the needed information in the ticket that you opened. I am copying the part of its reply relevant to the error message here, in case anyone else sees a similar error:

​Regarding the error message, most likely it is related to this issue. Please, take a look at this KB article and make sure that your app does not contain fully qualified path names longer than 218 characters.
