In case the application has dependency on nativescript-unit-test-runner, calling tns build <platform> --release will include the unit-test runner in the prepared package. It is not expected to have it there in release build.

Some options to resolve the issue:

• Implement special logic in CLI to exclude the nativescript-unit-test-runner when in release build. The problem here is that if the same issue occurs with other modules, we'll have to hard-code them in CLI as well.
• Install nativescript-unit-test-runner as devDependency and add logic in it to be copied to <platforms> directory on after-prepare. This way the plugin will have the logic when to be copied to the project and when not. The same approach can be used for other packages.

In my opinion it will be better if we implement the logic in the plugin itself (second option). I'm moving this issue to the nativescript-unit-test-runner repo.

This problem is not nativescript-unit-test-runner, it is generic CLI feature that is currently missing (#2776).
