I've traced it down to this part of code in the ios-controller:

const stringType = /\w+[a-z]/g.test(level) && /\w+[a-z]/g.exec(level)[0];
let type = DeviceType.SIMULATOR;
if (stringType) {
  type = stringType === "tv" ? DeviceType.TV : DeviceType.WATCH;
}

Hi,

When using the nativescript demo application, when I attempt to run tests using nativescript-dev-appium, the application crashes using parseEmulatorsAvds() in the AndroidController class.

Steps to repro:

1. Get hold of the Android Accelerated Oreo avd. You do this by installing Visual Studio for Mac Community Edition, and installing their default device.
2. Open the test repo https://github.com/bsmithb2/nativescript-mobile-bug
3. Run the repo in VS Code (or run.ts in anywhere really.
4. parsePlatforms on my Mac has android-27 and android-28 installed
5. parseEmulatorsAvds() crashes "cannot read property 'sdk' of undefined"

Cause: target=Google Inc.:Google Play:27 is not parsable compared to what it's expecting.
Expected: ignore the avd, or parse differently.

This keeps going in circles all the time:

ERROR: Process "emulator64-crash-service" not found.
