*Steps to reproduce*

Download `KitchenSink-v2`

Download the latest SDK version `appc ti sdk install -b master -d`

In the project directory run the following command `DEBUG=liveview:* appc run -p ios --liveview`

Above error is thrown in the console and an error can be seen in the iOS simulator

*Actual result* Above error can be seen. *Expected result* Application should show no error and LiveView should work with KitchenSInk without any issues.

This is probably because of kitchensink-v2 having an app.xml file for internationalized string at the OS level, but not a strings.xml file which is perfectly valid. LiveView assumes that if you have an i18n directory, you've got a strings.xml file, we should just check for the existence of that file before attempting to read it.

To workaround this, create strings.xml file in the app/i18n/ de and en folders that dupes app.xml

*Closing ticket* Fix verified in SDK version 9.1.0.v20200610180055. Able to use liveView while running KitchenSink-V2 and able to see the application reload when saving. *Test Environment* MacOS Catalina: 10.15.5 Beta Xcode: 11.4 Java Version: 1.8.0_131 Android NDK: 21.1.6273396-beta2 Node.js: 10.16.3 ""NPM":"5.0.0","CLI":"8.0.0"" Andoird Pixel xl 7.1.1 Emulator iphone 8 (13.4 sim)
