opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp' file not found

[olivero86]

When I run ionic build ios I get the following error message:

/Plugins/cordova-plugin-openalpr/PlateScanner.h:12:10: fatal error: 'opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp' file not found                 
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"  

Thanks

Can you provide us with some more details? Please open the project in xCode and try to compile and run it. This can be an issue with the code signing / project settings in xCode.

I fixed some project settings but still cannot run it. Below is the error I now get in XCode 8.2.1.
When I run the ionic build, I get the following error:
`

The following build commands failed:

And when I try to run the generated project I get this error in Xcode:

Hi @olivero86,

Ive managed to reproduce your error. For some reason the opencv framework is not added correctly to the project. We do not know yet if this is because of a directory structure error or a configuration error.

In the meantime you can bypass this error by moving the contents of the opencv2.framework/versions/A folder up to the opencv2.framework/ folder (like the image below) afterwards it is safe to delete the now empty versions folder.

Now build the project again.

We do not know yet when we will release a final fix since we are both busy graduating at the moment.

Kind regards, Melvin

(added as known Cordova issue to the readme, closing issue as this isn't something that is project specific)

Any updates on this being fixed? I am currently running our own build for openAlpr but would like to use a recommended plugin. Thanks

[iMicknl]

Please have a look at the README. This is still a known issue which isn't related to our plugin, but to Cordova. We provide a work-around in the readme. @tomevs88
