there was a same issue while running build pipeline with ionic 3 code base as well but there was a solution to run script below at start of the pipeline

echo "Uninstalling all CocoaPods versions..."
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods -ax
echo "Installing CocoaPods version 1.5.3..."
sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.5.3

but this solution is not working with ionic 4 code base.

You can try the workaround mentioned in this case with similar issue .

Add the following code to your podfile:

post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['EXPANDED_CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY'] = ""
            config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED'] = "NO"
            config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED'] = "NO"
        end
    end
end
