The NativeScript bundle rebuilds automatically as part of your normal Capacitor loop — the capacitor:copy:before hook runs nscap build (milliseconds) on every copy/sync:
# after editing anything in src/nativescript
npx cap run ios # or: npx cap run androidThat's it: cap run syncs (rebuilding your NativeScript bundle via the hook), builds, and deploys.
For web-side changes, use your framework's dev server as usual — the native object is simply inactive in a plain browser, so your web dev loop is unaffected.
:::tip v5 note
The v5 dev:nativescript watcher CLI has been retired. On-device live reload of NativeScript code (without reinstalling the app) is on the 8.x roadmap via TKLiveSync, which already ships with the runtime.
