This has been a nasty issue which ate most of my days. It was nativescript-admob plugin which was causing application to break.

There is open issue https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-admob/issues/45 which has a temp. You will have to add following line to AndroidManifest.xml

<application>
    <!-- this line needs to be added (replace the value!) -->
    <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713" />

    <activity></activity>
</application>
