why after prepare runs after pod install

[chrisalexqm]

I have been using after-prepare to modify the build.gradle file before the dependencies installing. But in iOS case, after-prepare runs after pod install and I can't modify Podfile before pod install.

I want to modify Podfile because I have a conflict with material/text-field and material/tab(this one is added by default by nativescript and I want to remove it).

Thanks!
