`tns run android` does not start the app sometimes after file changes

[dtopuzov]

Scenario:

1. Open MyApp in some editor (in my case VSCode)
2. tns run android --path MyApp
3. Start editing some JS, XML, CSS
4. After livesync sometimes app does not start automatically (it works if I manual start it)

Will write again when I have more logs or repro steps.

This bug makes CLI tests flaky and we can not rely on them.
This is critical!

yes same problem here tns run android doesn't start emulator after upgrade to 2.5.2 , it was working in 2.5.1 but now not open the app automatically

After livesync sometimes app does not start automatically

@dtopuzov, does this happen when you run tns run android command again, or just by changing and saving a file from the source code?

@Plamen5kov I'm changing files and I have to remove the platform and add it again for the changes to get to the device.
And I have to start the app manually on the emulator

@nicoabie the PR I've linked should fix your problem.

Have you ever tried to run with emulator -avd. Because i realized i did not set the ANDROID_SDK_ROOT enviroment.Emulator started to work automatically after that
