By following nativescript docs, installed all dependencies and tns doctor dont find any error.

and followed a tutorial and ran the following commands,

npm install -g @vue/cli @vue/cli-init
vue init nativescript-vue/vue-cli-template hello-vue
cd hello-vue
npm install

All sets fine and then i did my coding for an simple app then i ran below command:

npm run watch:android

This deploy the app in my connected android phone.

so my question is how can i get the apk file, so that i can send to another person?

Note: sidekick even not opening my folder. and when running tns build android shows No project found at or above 'C:\wamp64\www\newapp' and neither was a --path specified.

For building the apk for android, use the following command:

tns build android --release --key-store-path <path-to-your-keystore> --key-store-password <your-key-store-password> --key-store-alias <your-alias-name> --key-store-alias-password <your-alias-password>

Lots more info here : https://docs.nativescript.org/tooling/publishing/publishing-android-apps

If you want to get the debug apk using tns debug android --bundle, it will be located here :

<your project folder>/platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

If you are having trouble running tns, install nativescript globally using:

npm i -g nativescript

And follow the simple prompts.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for (it sounds like you want a debug.apk instead of an output.apk), but you might want to look at the documentation for publishing an Android app.
