NativeScript Permissions - Cannot find name 'android'?

I'm using the Spartadigital NativeScript Permissions plugin

I've also did : 

tns plugin add @spartadigital/nativescript-permissions

And inside the ts file : 

import {Permissions} from '@spartadigital/nativescript-permissions';

However when I run tns run android : I get :

node_modules/@spartadigital/nativescript-permissions/permissions.android.d.ts(2,37): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'android'.

node_modules/@spartadigital/nativescript-permissions/permissions.android.d.ts(3,34): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'android'. node_modules/@spartadigital/nativescript-permissions/permissions.ios.d.ts(24,47): error TS2552: Cannot find name 'NSObject'. Did you mean 'Object'? node_modules/@spartadigital/nativescript-permissions/permissions.ios.d.ts(24,67): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'CLLocationManagerDelegate'. node_modules/@spartadigital/nativescript-permissions/permissions.ios.d.ts(26,20): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'CLLocationManagerDelegate'.

Looking at the file , I see that it doesn't know android :

Nor other IOS objects :

I already have tns-platform-declarations :

Question:

Why doesn't it recognize those keywords and how can I fix it ?

package.json

ts.config

You should add the tns-platform-declarations module to your project, this will give you the typings for the native namespaces, classes, etc and enable intellisense also for what is provided by this module.

an easy answer would be to add declare var android to the top of the typescript file (under imports) you are calling it in. NativeScript knows where to get android from once its compiled.
