NativeScript Playground QR code leads to default app - nativescript

I am using NativeScript Playground 5 with iOS 12.1
When I attempt to scan a QR code on Playground, the Preview application loads, but the project specified by the QR code does not load.
It was working a few scans ago, then suddenly this behavior crops up.
Things I have tried:
Re-installing the Playground and Preview App
Getting other phones to try the same QR code -- theirs work
Using my phone on other Playground projects -- doesn't work
Restarting my phone
Making sure that there's Internet access.

My app is an Ionic capacitor angular project. It is very simple, just to read QR codes. Testing on android studio works without problem, the app open the camera, read the QR and present the correct results. When I deployed to Firebase, the process finish without any problem and the app is on the screen of my device (tablet), when i tried to begin to scan, the camera is not open, no error messages..nothing, what could be the error? this also happened in other device(my phone), exactly the same behavoir, camera is not open. I would appreciate your comments.
Tried in different devices and same problem. Why in android studio it works and not after deploy in firebase?

Nativescript Playground and Preview app does not work anymore with the Preview 2.0 upgrade

I noticed that the NS team has updated the Nativescript Preview app. The version history says that the last update was in 2020. With the recent update, the app wouldn't scan the QR code from play.nativescript.org and render it on the preview app. Instead, it is loading an example app on the preview app. I tried downloading the codebase and running it locally using ns preview but get an error (pasted below).
I am concerned since many of my sample apps are now in play.nativescript.org and I am not able to run them. Anybody else facing the same issue? If anyone has a resolution, please share. Your help is much appreciated. TIA.

Apple News Preview - Simulator stopped working

I am currently testing the Apple News JSON format using XCode / News Preview / Simulator and randomly running into a new error that was not occurring prior to today.
I am attempting to load the article.json file into the News Preview app (it's been working up until today). The article.json file gets successfully loaded with no errors in the console but the Simulator is claiming that the channel is not available for me. Here is what the error message on the Simulator reads:
Channel Unavailable
This channel isn't currently available in your region.
The News Preview and Simulator were working just fine until today. I have tried re-installing XCode and News Preview (and Simulator because I re-installed XCode) but the problem persists. Other colleagues of mine are now experiencing the same problem.
I tried also clearing all the content in the Simulator and tried wiping the device clean and also tried going to the "Debug" menu in Simulator and setting the Location specifically there, as well, without any success.
Is there a way to fix this or is there a way to know if there was a recent developer push to the Simulator code base?
Just to add a bit more detail, I am attempting to load the official Apple News article preview files, not my own article.json files (I tried loading my own json files, as well).
Any help is appreciated.
Hey I also just had this issue and have been troubleshooting since yesterday. Not sure what is causing it, but it only happens for my on devices simulators from iPhone 7 and newer.
Try running the preview on iPhone 6 or an older-gen iPad, etc... that's working for me.
The solution on only one of my machines was to enter the Publisher ID into the News Preview application, which is the first thing that is asked when launching the News Preview app. After entering the Publisher ID, everything seemed to return to normal - for all of my colleagues and I.
See my comment above about my new macbook and the new problem it is having.

Nativescript - weird page crash in ios

Got an app and works on Android and iOS.
There's one particular page in the app when I visit crashes in the production version of iOS app. Works fine in the emulator, works on the device in debug mode.
I narrowed it down to nativescript-imagepicker plugin. Even though no plugin specific code is being executed when the page is opened - it crashes as long as include the plug-in and have the code in a function (not called). If I comment out the code (but still include the plugin) - that works also.
What could cause such a problem?
Does the NS back-end run some code if the plugin is referenced in the page file?
Again works fine in emulator on iOS and also when tested directly on the device.
The problem occurs when the app is downloaded from itunesconnect - so there's no way for me to test it - console messages etc.
Using NS 3.2 with nativescript-imagepicker 0.3.6.
