ionic cordova run ios - Export failed with code 65

Question

I'm done with research on this error. I get following error when trying to run ionic cordova run ios --livereload:

[cordova]  Non-system Ruby in use. This may cause packaging to fail.
[cordova]  If you use RVM, please run `rvm use system`.
[cordova]  If you use chruby, please run `chruby system`.
[cordova]  error: archive not found at path '/Users/yassinezeriouh/Desktop/doday2/platforms/ios/DoDay.xcarchive'
[cordova]  ** EXPORT FAILED **
[cordova]  
[cordova]  CordovaError: Promise rejected with non-error: 'Error code 65 for command: xcodebuild with args: -exportArchive,-archivePath,DoDay.xcarchive,-exportOptionsPlist,/Users/yassinezeriouh/Desktop/doday2/platforms/ios/exportOptions.plist,-exportPath,/Users/yassinezeriouh/Desktop/doday2/platforms/ios/build/device,-allowProvisioningUpdates'

• re-installed ios
• downgraded ios
• all signing is correct in xcode
• tried with custom build.json
• re-installed all plugins

Running the project in xcode on my device works perfectly, tried to fix this issue since 4 hours, hope you can help. I'm running iOS 12, using Xcode 10.1, cordova 8.1.2, ionic 4.40 (project is actually running on ionic v3 and was created last month)

My config.xml (except android & ios splash/icon section):
