Cordova Build error: nodeValue undefined

Question

After a couple of days without touching my app, today when I tried to build it I got the following error:

Error thrown while running shell command: "cordova build ios" 
Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c cordova build ios 
Error: Cannot read property 'nodeValue' of undefined

If I remove the ios platform and add it again, it will work, but that's not the best solution... I'd like to understand the issue.

Do you have any idea what might have caused this error and what would be the best solution to fix it?

Thanks.

I just got this exact same error. For me the cause was that in my MyApp-info.plist I had added a new line that was empty, basically there was a blank key-value pair like this:

<key></key>
<string></string>

Once I removed this, the error disappeared and cordova was able to build again.

Hope that helps!
