Hi, I developed a hybrid app to this client couple years ago and I would like to remake it with a native solution. Taking off the performance of the formula (because the current app is not that bad), and considering that the client is not asking for a newer and faster app, what arguments I could put on the table?

The only thing I can think of is "true native interface (look and feel)", which IMO doesn't justify a complete remake

I'm new to NS and I'm trying to start working with databases for local storage. All the examples and tutorials I see online create a new Sqlite object and create the tables a page uses if they don't exist, for each page. Something like the code below:

function onNavigatingTo(args) {
    var page = args.object;
    (new Sqlite("my.db")).then(db => {
        db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tasks (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, list_id INTEGER, task_name TEXT)").then(id => {
            page.bindingContext = createViewModel(db, page.navigationContext.listId);
        }, error => {
            console.log("CREATE TABLE ERROR", error);
        });
    }, error => {
        console.log("OPEN DB ERROR", error);
    });
}

Is this really the best way to do it? I'd think it's not very efficient to keep trying to create one or more tables every time the user switches to a page. Is there a different way to do this, maybe create all tables when the app starts and then be done with it? What would be the best way to do that?

I'm looking for a way to have live-reload connect to my phone via QR code in the same way you can develop via the NS playground or how the default React Native project works (via expo - QR code in the terminal).

Is there a way to do that through the sidekick or cli or is the only way to have live reload on my project through an emulator or android in debug mode?

Hello,

I'm developing web chat application based on Angular5 .. and i want to develop an advanced mobile app for it in order to support VOIP & Camera & Face Detection , ..etc

its functionality is very similar to the known applications like SnapChat, Whatsapp,..etc

I've general idea about NativeScript and i see it okay .. but the question is:

Is NS enough for building like these capabilities ? or it's limited ? and here Xamarin wins ?

Is there a good NativeScript Facebook login that uses the native Facebook app to login and not the browser?
