Crash on load without any message about nativescript-google-maps-sdk

What's crashing - the android emulator? I use the Genymotion emulator for Mac and haven't had any issues. You can maybe try looking at the logs from android when it crashes - Device monitor or logcat.

I tried with an adb logcat | grep F and turns out that this may make things evolving, here's what I do have :

Most likely due to a missing applicationId variable in application's build.gradle.

I will go deeper with this and tell you if I find what was wrong ! thansk for your reply

I went through a working solution :

Turns out that, as said in the logs above, the application Id is missing.. This issue can be resolved with adding the application id in file <your_project_directory>/app/App_Resources/Android/app.gradle .

With our id (org.nativescript.gpadri) the file should look like

android {


  defaultConfig {  
    generatedDensities = []
    applicationId "org.nativescript.gpadri"
  }  
  aaptOptions {  
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"  
  }  
}

This issue can be very tricky, since the project will compile correctly when builded with linux (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS), but does not work when builded with a mac (tested w/ OS X El Capitan).
