NS preview not working correctly

[paulGeoghegan]

Issue Description

I have been trying to use nativescript for quite a while now. I was trying to use it with svelte but gave up after encountering a seeming bug. When I run "ns preview" everything seems fine but when I scan the QR code with my Android device I am presented with a blank screen. I then tried with just a js app but I have run in to the same problem. It's honestly really frustrating because I really want to give Nativescript a go but I just can't get it to work.

Reproduction
