Question

I am trying to:

  "cordovaPlatforms": [
    {
      "platform": "android",
      "locator": "./engine/cordova-android-c0.6.1/"
    }
  ]
}

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Answer 1

try this, first upgrade all your npm packages (this could take a while)

npm update -g

Then try to install the platform

cordova platform add ios

if you still have the problem try removing the platform first (maybe you have already installed it)

cordova platform rm ios

and then add it again

cordova platform add ios

you can also try this:

cordova platform update ios

(from here https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/5.0.0/guide_platforms_ios_upgrade.md.html#Upgrading%20iOS)

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Simply use a version of whitelist plugin that is compatible with IOS platform 3.8.0, until the 4.0.0 is officially released.

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" spec="1.0.0" />
