Research direction
Run tns info and inspect the project's package.json to confirm the Angular 16, TypeScript 5, and TSLib 2.5 versions. Reproduce the failure using a custom activity as described in the NativeScript docs; done means the app starts normally and the custom activity is usable without the reported class-not-found error.
