‼ Update available for component tns-android. Your current version is 4.2.0 and the latest available version is 5.0.0.

Research direction

Start with the tns doctor command and the code that formats its component version messages. Trace how outdated components are detected and identify the existing upgrade instructions at docs.nativescript.org/releases/upgrade-instructions. Done means tns doctor explains how to update each outdated component while preserving the current status output.
