edit-config for ios usage descriptions: doc.find is not a function

Question

When using the edit-config tag in config.xml, I get this error on build:

Error: doc.find is not a function 

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I think that the error has thrown when the platforms/ios/ios.json file is conflicting to the config.xml.

To resolve this issue, remove *-Info.plist key and its value in platforms/ios/ios.json and do cordova prepare ios again.

If some plugins has config-file tag for *-Info.plist and config.xml has edit-config tag for *-Info.plist, this error may happen. In this case, remove platforms/* and plugins/*, and then cordova platform add ios and cordova prepare again. (If you do cordova prepare without cordova platform add ios, this error may happen)
