Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

• Android
• All versions?
• device: Xiaomi A1

Please, provide the following version numbers that your issue occurs with:

• CLI: 8.2.3
• Cross-platform modules: 8.2.5
• Android Runtime: 8.2.4
• Plugin(s): many (not relevant)

Please, tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

This issue is caused by this one: NativeScript/android#1715

It is thrown only in release builds, it works fine with debug builds. The issue appears when I try to write a characteristic with the BLE plugin.

I don't know how this issue should be fixed, but I wanted you to know it exists. Maybe solving the issue in @nativescript/android will be enough, but maybe the version check should be made with another function or variable?

This is resolved in android-runtime@8.3.

fix: Set package version before preReleaseBuild by @sebj54 in NativeScript/android#1716

Seems I figured out how to fix the issue 😅 Thanks for the heads up!
