Bug rxjs 6 is not set in Nativescript yet, latest should not require it

[ZachRoberts25]

Hey Guys,

The latest release requires rxjs 6. This causes a lot of problems with other plugins/libraries and even nativescript itself. You need to wait until nativescript releases its version that has rxjs 6 support.

Please make these changes to make this library useable again.

Can’t you just pin to older version of this lib?

[ZachRoberts25]

You can, and that is how I solved it for myself. But you are now requiring everyone who wants to use it, to pin a recent version instead of just downloading it and they're off and running. It took me a while to solve this issue, so just wanted to prevent others from having to do the same. I would recommend going back down to rxjs 5.5 for now, until nativescript latest is on 6.0 as well.

+1 on this one.

When updating my app to tns4 I updated this plugin assuming it was a relatively low risk.
Then my whole app started to broke.
As I updated several things at once it was very difficult to track back what was causing the issue,

Basically I had a complain about document.createElement do not exists or something similar.

I have lost about one afternoon tracking down this problem, until I find out this post.

I do think updating the lib to rxjs to a non compatible version basically turns the release unusable.

@ZachRoberts25 @kvindasAB apologies - I should have bumped major version to 5.0.0 when doing this instead of minor to 4.2 since it was a breaking change. We'll leave this open for rest of year.

Solution for folks is to pin to 4.1.0 if using anything below rxjs 6.
