ns run with only visionos platform added in current project tried to run non-existent Android build

[matthargett]

Issue Description

with NS 8.9, ns run gives a lot of Android error messages in a project that never had Android and only has visionOS.

Reproduction

with NS 8.9:
Create a new NS project with just the visionOS platform, make sure no other platforms are listed.
run npm install
run ns prepare
run ns run

Relevant log output (if applicable)

$ ns run

✖ The ANDROID_HOME environment variable is not set or it points to a non-existent directory. You will not be able to perform any build-related operations for Android.
 To be able to perform Android build-related operations, set the `ANDROID_HOME` variable to point to the root of your Android SDK installation directory.

✖ WARNING: adb from the Android SDK is not installed or is not configured properly.
 For Android-related operations, the NativeScript CLI will use a built-in version of adb.
To avoid possible issues with the native Android emulator, Genymotion or connected
Android devices, verify that you have installed the latest Android SDK and
its dependencies as described in http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Requirements

✖ WARNING: The Android SDK is not installed or is not configured properly.
 You will not be able to run your apps in the native emulator. To be able to run apps
in the native Android emulator, verify that you have installed the latest Android SDK
and its dependencies as described in http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Requirements

✖ Cannot find a compatible Android SDK for compilation.
To be able to build for Android with your current android runtime, install one of the following supported Android SDK targets:
  android-17
  android-18
  android-19
  android-20
  android-21
  android-22
  android-23
  android-24
  android-25

  android-27
  android-28
  android-29
  android-30
  android-31
  android-32
  android-33
  android-34
  android-35
Supported targets vary based on what android runtime you have installed. Currently your app uses @nativescript/android null
 Run `$ sdkmanager` to manage your Android SDK versions.

✖ No compatible version of the Android SDK Build-tools are installed on your system. You can install any version in the following range: '>=23 <=35'.
 Install the required build-tools through Android Studio. In case you already have them installed, make sure the `ANDROID_HOME` environment variable is set correctly.

✖ Error executing command 'javac'. Make sure you have installed The Java Development Kit (JDK) and set JAVA_HOME environment variable.
 You will not be able to build your projects for Android.
To be able to build for Android, verify that you have installed The Java Development Kit (JDK) and configured it according to system requirements as
 described in https://docs.nativescript.org/setup

✖ WARNING: The Java Development Kit (JDK) is not installed or is not configured properly.
 You will not be able to work with the Android SDK and you might not be able
to perform some Android-related operations. To ensure that you can develop and
test your apps for Android, verify that you have installed the JDK as
described in http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/install_overview.html (for JDK 8).

Your environment is not configured properly and you will not be able to execute local builds.
Verify that your environment is configured according to the system requirements described at
https://docs.nativescript.org/setup/macos#setting-up-macos-for-android.
