[Bundle workflow] Breakpoint in linked source not hit in VSCode on lightweight app initial load

[manoldonev]

Environment
Provide version numbers for the following components (information can be retrieved by running tns info in your project folder or by inspecting the package.json of the project):

• CLI: rc
• Cross-platform modules: rc
• Android Runtime: rc

Describe the bug
Breakpoint in linked tns-core-modules source is not hit in VSCode on initial app start when using a very thin (lightweight) NativeScript app (e.g. created from blank template) even when stopOnEntry is set to true. After initial load debugging works as expected. A workaround proposed by @DimitarTachev is to place a debugger; statement in the beginning of the file-to-debug.

To Reproduce

1. git clone git@github.com:NativeScript/NativeScript.git
2. cd NativeScript
3. tns create bottom-nav-test --template tns-template-blank-ts
4. cd bottom-nav-test
5. tns migrate
6. Open NativeScript folder in VSCode
7. Replace the contents of bottom-nav-test/app-root.xml with:

<BottomNavigation>
    <TabStrip>
        <TabStripItem title="First"></TabStripItem>
        <TabStripItem title="Second"></TabStripItem>
    </TabStrip>

    <TabContentItem>
        <GridLayout>
            <Label text="First View" />
        </GridLayout>
    </TabContentItem>

        <TabContentItem>
        <GridLayout>
            <Label text="Second View" />
        </GridLayout>
    </TabContentItem>
</BottomNavigation>

8. Place a breakpoint in the OnLoaded() method in tns-core-modules/ui/bottom-navigation/bottom-navigation.android.ts
9. Configure NativeScript debugging and add the following debug configuration in launch.json:

        {
            "name": "bottom-nav | Launch on Android",
            "type": "nativescript",
            "request": "launch",
            "platform": "android",
            "appRoot": "${workspaceRoot}/bottom-nav-test",
            "sourceMaps": true,
            "stopOnEntry": true,
            "watch": true
        },

10. Try to debug using the newly added configuration
11. Breakpoint in OnLoaded() is not hit

Expected behavior
Breakpoints should work on initial app start as well
