It seems gradle.properties is missing.

same issue, here

Hi, I faced the same issue. I've solved it by manually adding the gradle.properties file with the variables that are supposed to be there:

ns_default_bcel_version=6.5.0
ns_default_commons_io_version=2.8.0
ns_default_spotbugs_version=3.1.12

If you don't want to add the file, another option is to remove the code that looks for the gradle.properties file and directly add these variables in the build.gradle:

project.ext.ns_default_bcel_version = "6.5.0"
project.ext.ns_default_commons_io_version = "2.8.0"
project.ext.ns_default_spotbugs_version = "3.1.12"

For the version codes I used the ones that were being used before the variables were introduced here dd5d0dc. I don't know if it is supposed to use newer versions.

One can generate a NativeScript app via

ns create testApp --ts; cd testApp; npm install @nativescript/android --save-dev; ns build android

Then, you can copy testApp/platforms/android/gradle.properties into the dts-generator directory of this repo.
