it seems to be not possible to create a new project with the current schematics version

Describe the bug
As I am trying to migrate a schematics project to NS7 I tried to generate a new NS7 project with the current schematics. The new project unfortunately does not build after creation. I would expect that a empty default project runs out of the box when generated

To Reproduce
ng new --collection=@nativescript/schematics testapp --prefix ns --style scss

Expected behavior
creates a new project which can be run with ns run ios --emulator --no-hmr --env.aot

Additional context
in tsconfig.json "baseUrl": ".", is missing. When I add it I end up with the next compilation error
cp: no such file or directory: PATH_TO_APP/testapp/App_Resources/iOS/*

Hello @NathanWalker, as I don't know of which priority this bug currently is for you, I am wondering, if you somewhere might have a demo project available which has a running configuration of an schematics NS7 and Angular 10 project with working SCSS support (without shared webapp), like the one I tried to generate with the above mentioned command? I am still trying to migrate my project without success. I hope a reference project will help me to figure out what is missing. If you could share a link to such a project that would be great and would probably also help others who stumble in the same situation. Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Christoph

@cjohn001 thanks for ping - I'm circling back here on Tuesday to see if can assist. I'll be honest I don't use these schematics myself (we use https://github.com/nstudio/xplat which accomplishes same thing with more scalability in mind) and I have been shakey on how much we want to continue supporting these. They require a lot of build hand holding that other approaches don't and most likely is the reason for your troubles.

But I know people have invested in these schematics and don't want to leave them hanging; like yourself. So will see what can be done. Just want to be totally transparent and honest here 👍

Hello @NathanWalker, when trying to rebuild a minimum example for our discussion, I realized that I actually have not used schematics either to generate my project. It was only build with tns create -> Angular and than I added node-sass. I will come back on you when I managed to prepare a reference example showing the same sass errors.

Hello @NathanWalker , I have now got a basic project structure working and will now be going to add sources from my project till things brake. Could be that it takes a while till I come back on you. Seems like I have something from which I can start of now :) Thanks for your help.

@cjohn001 thanks for update - If you run into trouble ping me on Slack and we can try to hop on Zoom together to gain more clarity.

@NathanWalker, thank you very much for the offer, I will use this chance in case I cannot resolve it.
