Cordova build ios error

Edwardon

As using Cordova to build an app for Ios, after adding ios platform into your current project cordova platform add ios and you got this error

// Run Ios emulator
cordova run ios --device

CordovaError: Promise rejected with non-error: "xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance\n"
    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/bin/cordova:29:15
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:93:5)

Here are my solution

  1. brew install gcc
  2. xcode-select --install
  3. xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app

If you got

cordova run ios --device                          
CordovaError: Promise rejected with non-error: "ios-deploy was not found. Please download, build and install version 1.9.2 or greater from https://github.com/ios-control/ios-deploy into your path, or do 'npm install -g ios-deploy'"
    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/bin/cordova:29:15

Solution

sudo npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm=true
