Description
I am working with nativescript on Android with livesync (using tns 4.0.0-2018-01-23-10431)
Depending on the change i make, the app requires to be re installed.
To do that nativescript first delete the app then install it again.
This is an issue in dev because you loose all the app settings. So if you are working on a deep workflow of the app, you have to do all over again pretty often.
Couldn't the app be only replace with adb install -r ?
Thanks

Start by tracing the NativeScript CLI Android livesync path that deletes and reinstalls the app, then check how it invokes adb. Reproduce the workflow on Android and verify that replacement preserves app settings while the reinstall behavior remains correct.
