cordova-plugin-camera installed but xcode saying plugin is not installed

Question

I am trying to get cordova-plugin-camera working on my Ionic app. I installed it using cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera --save and then npm i --save @ionic-native/camera. The node_modules folder for the package is populated and the plugin exists in all my plugins folders, I have also verified that cordova plugin list shows the plugin. I'm using the following code to attempt to start the camera but it is not working:

import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { Platform } from "ionic-angular";
import { Camera, CameraOptions } from "@ionic-native/camera";

@Component({
  selector: "page-camera",
  templateUrl: "camera.html"
})
export class CameraPage {
  public base64Image: string;

  constructor(public camera: Camera, public platform: Platform) {}

  takePicture() {
    this.platform.ready().then(() => {
      this.camera
        .getPicture({
          destinationType: this.camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
          targetWidth: 1000,
          targetHeight: 1000
        })
        .then(
          imageData => {
            // imageData is a base64 encoded string
            this.base64Image = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
          },
          err => {
            console.log(err);
          }
        );
    });
  }
}

When running this and clicking the button that calls takePicture() I get no camera launched and no console errors but inside of safari I get the following error:

2018-12-13 11:31:24.183490-0500 MyApp[3844:312133] ERROR: Plugin 'Camera' not found, or is not a CDVPlugin. Check your plugin mapping in config.xml.

Answer 1

reset my branch and reinstalled, did the trick. I'm unsure of what was happening but think it was just installing improperly.
