Hey @AshleyCao,

The information that you have provided is a good start, but can you send me the recentApps file that you can find in %appdata%\NativeScriptSidekick\storage as well?

Additionally, it would be useful for me to take a look at the log files, created in a session, in which you get the error. You can navigate to the log files folder using the menu Help => Show Logs.

On a side note, do you have a package.json file, located in C:?

[AshleyCao]

@tsvetie Please find files you need here: https://github.com/AshleyCao/sidekick1.9.0-ios.git
I did have package.json in c drive.
What I did yesterday is copy the missing files from other ios project to this one so I can open it.
The project is native Android, never deploy on ios.
After adding files, I can run on the device but it kept giving me "Unreachable" warning error on the device icon. I need to replugin device.

Hey @AshleyCao,

You are correct. With the old version of Sidekick, you can open a project, in which you have deleted the App_Resources/iOS folder and with the new version, you cannot. For the time being, do not delete the resources, even if you do not intend on building the app for the given platform. I will verify with my colleagues whether this is a bug and get back to you.

[AshleyCao]

@tsvetie I didn't delete any files in resource folder. Just copy from other ios files so I can at least open it.
If I only deploy on Android device, files for ios setting should be needed, right?

[tsvetie]

@AshleyCao, this is very interesting. How did you create the NS project so that it has no App_Resources/iOS folder?

On a side note, we will fix the error when you try to open a NS project with no App_Resources/iOS folder in Sidekick with one of our next released.

[AshleyCao]

@tsvetie There is an ios folder under App_Resource but only images, no Assets.xcassets folder or so.
