Description
There is still no clear solution for integration of NativeScript in existing applications.
The blog entry for it: https://www.nativescript.org/blog/using-nativescript-in-an-existing-native-ios-android-applications from 2016 describes steps for it with some hacking needed to get everything working.
CLI should be able to create a new project which would show such a use case. An independent native application, which contains a NativeScript project. Release/Debug builds must also only contain the files they need. e.g. Log redirection and LiveSync should not be part of Release builds.

Define the generated existing-app integration project and verify that each build includes only the required files, excluding Log redirection and LiveSync from Release builds.
