I'm trying to build a cordova ios app but not having much luck and getting strange errors.
Using this version of Cordova with older version of cordova-ios is deprecated. Upgrade to [email protected] or newer.
Error: Your ios platform does not have Api.js
The first warning says my cordov-ios version is old, which is strange as this is my output:
$ cordova --version
7.0.1
$ cordova platform version ios
Installed platforms:
ios 4.4.0
Available platforms:
android ~6.2.2
blackberry10 ~3.8.0 (deprecated)
browser ~4.1.0
osx ~4.0.1
webos ~3.7.0
So I clearly have the latest versions necessary.
And then the Api.js error. What is causing this?
Error: Your ios platform does not have Api.js
Any ideas?
I'm guessing that attempting to use deprecated code is the reason for seeing the error message.
It appears that one should be using the latest version of node. I also performed all my software updates for Xcode. I also connected my iPhone to my computer. Even after that (and before I updated node) I was still seeing this:
cordova platform add ios
Warning: using node version v0.12.0 which has been deprecated. Please upgrade to the latest node version available (v6.x is recommended).
Using cordova-fetch for cordova-ios@^4.4.0
Adding ios project...
Error: Your ios platform does not have Api.js
Then I decided to resolve the warning by updating node. And finally success:
sudo n latest
node --version
=> v8.0.0
cordova platform rm ios
cordova platform add ios
Using cordova-fetch for cordova-ios@~4.4.0
