NativeScript won't run local build from Sidekick

Question

I freshly installed Sidekick for NativeScript. When I press "Run on Device" button application throws

"Your system is not configured for local builds"

Weirdly running the app from cmd with tsc run command works perfectly and application compiles and even start on my device with no problem. This is probably something with Sidekick. I tried to reinstall app and even create fresh project. I'm running on Windows 10 using Android SDK 25 and have libraries on version 5.0

Did anyone had the same problem?

Answer 1

It's most likely because you havent set up your machine for local builds although Sidekick is supposed to help automate that.

Try this: run tns doctor in your cmd at elevated permissions and select configure for local build when prompted or any of the options that appeal to you if you change your mind.
