My app, built with Ionic and Cordova, includes the plugin GoogleMaps version 2.6.2 (the most recent), but it has not been loaded on iOS for a month, and Android still works.
I only have taken this product from a colleague and I am a total beginner in terms of Cordova, Ionic and npm. In any case the error is that the plugin is no longer installed (as my console tells me in xCode). When I try to update Cordova-ios to the latest version (ionic cordova platform update ios), I only get the error message
> cordova platform update ios
Using cordova-fetch for cordova-ios@^5.0.0
Failed to fetch platform cordova-ios@^5.0.0
Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and platform name / version / URL.

What does that mean exactly? I wanted to uninstall the iOS platform (ionic cordova platform remove ios) and add new ones (cordova platform add ios@5.0.0), but already when I uninstall I get the following error:
ionic cordova platform remove ios
> cordova platform remove ios --save
Removing ios from cordova.platforms array in package.json

I have installed the following plugins:
> cordova plugin ls
cordova-plugin-datepicker 0.9.3 "DatePicker"
cordova-plugin-device 2.0.2 "Device"
cordova-plugin-geolocation 4.0.1 "Geolocation"
cordova-plugin-googlemaps 2.6.2 "cordova-plugin-googlemaps"
cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 4.0.1 "cordova-plugin-ionic-webview"
cordova-plugin-splashscreen 5.0.2 "Splashscreen"
cordova-plugin-statusbar 2.4.2 "StatusBar"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.3 "Whitelist"
cordova-sqlite-storage 2.6.0 "Cordova sqlite storage plugin"
ionic-plugin-keyboard 2.2.1 "Keyboard"
phonegap-plugin-push 1.11.1 "PushPlugin"
What exactly do I have to do to update cordova-ios to the latest version? What else do you need for information that I could give you? My Mac already has the latest operating system.
EDIT:
I ran rm -Rf platforms / node_modules / && npm install && ionic cordova platform add ios @ latest and now I get the following output on the console.

It looks like everything had worked out. Do I have to worry about the message
cordova-plugin-googlemaps depends on GoogleMaps @ ~> 2.7.0, which conflicts with another plugin. GoogleMaps @ ~> 3.1.0 is already installed and was not overwritten.
If so what can I do or remove?
How can I solve the problem
Installing "cordova-sqlite-storage" for ios
Failed to install 'cordova-sqlite-storage': CordovaError: Using "requireCordovaModule" to load non-cordova module "q" is not supported. Instead, add this module to your dependencies and use regular "require" to load it.

This is because you have cordova@9.0.0 CLI installed which removed support for use of requireCordovaModule by 3rd party plugins, but you have an old version of cordova-sqlite-storage plugin installed which makes use of requireCordovaModule. So you need to update your version of cordova-sqlite-storage plugin:
cordova plugin rm cordova-sqlite-storage && cordova plugin add cordova-sqlite-storage@latest
cordova-plugin-googlemaps depends on GoogleMaps @ ~> 2.7.0, which conflicts with another plugin. GoogleMaps @ ~> 3.1.0 is already installed and was not overwritten.
Again probably due to an outdated version of cordova-plugin-googlemaps so update it:
cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-googlemaps --nosave && cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-googlemaps@latest
Note the use of --nosave option when removing the plugin to preserve any plugin variables containing API keys.
You should also check and update the other plugins in your project. An easy way to do this is using the cordova-check-plugins tool:
npm install -g cordova-check-plugins
cordova-check-plugins --unconstrain-versions --update=auto
# or --update=interactive for interactive update process
