Failed to compile on xcode 10 although it is required?

[kuriakinzeng]

Thanks for creating this plugin!

I am really excited to try it out. I understand that this plugin requires Xcode 10. However, I can’t compile any cordova app on Xcode 10, even barebones and without this plugin added.

Can you tell us more how you manage to compile? Thank you so much.

Xcode version: 10.0 beta 6
Cordova version: 8.0.0

Output when I run cordova run ios:

I can confirm this issue, even with this plugin not installed indeed. If I create a project without any plugins, I am still not able to run this command. This looks like a Cordova issue.

I do am able to compile this if I open the XCode-project in /platforms/ios manually in XCode and press compile.

This is a known issue with Cordova and Xcode 10, you can find more information about it here and a temporary workaround is also available in the comments.

try this

Cordova CLI

cordova run ios --buildFlag='-UseModernBuildSystem=0'
cordova build ios --buildFlag='-UseModernBuildSystem=0'

Ionic CLI

ionic cordova run ios -- --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
ionic cordova build ios -- --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
