Error building ios with cordova

Question

I have a problem when I build the ios platform with cordova. I have all the certificates for the app and device, but when I try to run in my ios device, doing ionic run ios, the console return this error:

Error: Source path does not exist: resources/ios/icon/[email protected] 

This path is written in config.xml file.

I tried to run it in xCode but the problem there was:

Cordova/CDVViewController.h not found 

I read a lot of possible solutions but any works for me.

My xCode version is 7.3.1, the cordova version is 6.3.0 and the cordova ios version is 4.2.0.

Answer 1

If you are missing the icon you can run the command

ionic resources --icon 

This will generate all the icons with the pixels needed to run on any device.

To simulate on the device you first need to

ionic build ios 

and then

ionic simulate ios 

It is also a good practice to have xcode up to date.

If you are still getting the error you can paste this line

"$(OBJROOT)/UninstalledProducts/$(PLATFORM_NAME)/include" 

on Build Settings > Header Search Paths. Do not remove the similar line, just add it at the end.

Update - 03-08-2017

> ionic cordova resources 

Old CLI command:

I had the same error, and after re-running ionic resources it went away.

The problem was that I had Windows-style slashes (backslashes) in the path of the icon, i.e. the error I had was this:

Error: Source path does not exist: resources\ios\icon\icon-40.png

So, converting backslashes into slashes resolved it for me.

Update: And regarding your second error, it helped me to reset the state:

ionic state reset

Make sure you have ios listed under cordovaPlatforms in your package.json before running this command. Then ionic automatically re-downloads your plugins afresh and is ready to build.

Hope that helps. Take care!
