Provide version numbers for the following components (information can be retrieved by running tns info

Describe the bug
When installing a plugin with wrong min runtime version (e.g. "next") the error that is thrown while building the app is misleading.
To Reproduce
- Clone the nativescript-ui-listview plugin repo
- Change the nativescript-android and ios versions in src/package.json file to next
- Pack the plugin with
sh pack.sh
- Add the plugin to one of the demos (e.g. cd demo-angular && tns plugin add ../publish/package/*.tgz)
- Execute
tns run android

'dependencies.json' file not found. Check whether the NativeScript CLI has prepared the project beforehand,
and that your NativeScript version is 3.3, or a more recent one. To build an android project with the current
version of the {N} CLI install a previous version of the runtime package - 'tns platform add [email protected]'.

Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.
