Same problem when you do cordova platform add ios@5.0.0?

[ejerskov]

Running cordova platform remove ios and cordova platform add ios@5.0.0 gives the same result.

I initially thought it was a problem within ios-sim, but with a fix for that issue it's still not working.

Link to other ios-sim issue and fix: ios-control/ios-sim#246 (comment)

[janpio]

Ok, so not a problem with cordova-ios but ios-sim?

You can close this issue then please.

[ejerskov]

ios-sim is returning the ios devices, but cordova is not. That’s why I created this issue

[janpio]

Can you please add to your issue what ios-sim showdevicetypes returns then?

[shazron]

ios-sim@8 has the fixes for the new devices. The pinned version for cordova is ios-sim@7

cordova-ios/package.json

Line 54 in 5e688ca

"ios-sim": "^7.0.0",

[dpogue]

Thanks Shazron! We should probably do a follow-up patch release to bump that to ^8.
