Describe the bug
Just finished to configure Firebase for Android to:

• receiving push notification (<-- ok)
• displaying adv (<-- ok)

It works ok

(Nb. To let "nativescript-plugin-firebase" work with "nativescript-geolocation", I had to write this line in the app.gradle:
project.ext {
googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1"
}
)

Now I'm trying to run on iOS (after removing the platform ios from the folder, to let the runner generate it from zero):
tns run ios

But I'm getting this error during the installation:
Unable to apply changes on device: 314852F5-762C-4287-8565-3081236DB5A0. Error is: Command xcrun with arguments simctl install 314852F5-762C-4287-8565-3081236DB5A0 /Users/alessandro/Documents/Progetti/cmi-app-nativescript/meteo-by-centrometeoitaliano/platforms/ios/build/emulator/meteobycentrometeoitaliano.app failed with exit code 1. Error output:

Is there some trouble between nativescript and geolocation also for iOS?

Thank you

Hi @s-ale,

As we fixed some issues related to xcrun in rc version of {N} CLI, I'd like to ask you to update your NativeScript.

npm un -g nativescript
npm i -g nativescript@rc

Let me know if this fixes the issue on your side.

Hi @Fatme

Just followed your instructions, but the problem remains.
Here's the part of the log around that which I get the error in:

npm run ios --log trace

I hope that this is gonna be useful

[enrico-atzeni]

same issue for me

[diegozen]

I'm having this error, but only when using --template tns-template-hello-world on tns create

[chrillewoodz]

Also having this issue, but it didn't start to appear until I tried adding the https://github.com/dapriett/nativescript-google-maps-sdk plugin.

@s-ale, @enrico-atzeni, @diegozen, @chrillewoodz

I removed the following from App_Resources/iOS/Info.plist and was able to reproduce the problem.

<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME}</string>

So can you please check if you have the above code in your App_Resources/iOS/Info.plist?
Can you please check platforms/iOS/<projectName>/<projectName>-Info.plist as well?

Maybe some hook modifies the Info.plist file under the App_Resources and it remains broken.

[liam-nirvana]

Hey guys, I also have this problem, Is anyone fix it ? please tell me , It's drive me crazy :(

[diegozen]

Deleting platforms/ios folder and do tns run ios worked to me !
