Make AppInsights work with a NativeScript application - nativescript

Question

I'm trying to make a NativeScript app write logs to Azure AppInsight. I'm using npm package "#microsoft/applicationinsights-web" for that (2.5.8).
Upon the application start I'm getting this error while trying to call new ApplicationInsights():
System.err: TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property '__extends' of object '[object global]'

I wonder if someone has already found a solution for this issue.
