Description
Issue Description
When I have on package.json:
"@nativescript/android": "^8.2.2",
On my Samsung Galaxy phone, I get an error during installation that the version ^8.2.2 is illegal.
NS seems to be sending the npm expression instead of the actual runtime version being installed.
Reproduction
On any project package.json change "@nativescript/android" to use an expression. And do ns run android
If your phone is lenient and accepts it, check the metadata on your phone and you will see the version number is the version expression; otherwise the install will be rejected.
