Apple Silicon M1, sample tabs app crashes when run on iPhone X simulator (or other i86 platforms)

[viking2917]

Short description of the problem:

Create a new app using Xcode 12.4, on Apple Silicon M1 mac. After building the app, and running in an iPhoneX simulator, the app crashes on startup. Running in an Arm64 simulator (e.g. iPhone 12), works fine.

What behavior are you expecting?

The app should launch and run successfully.

Steps to reproduce:

1. ionic start m1App tabs --type ionic1
2. cd m1App
3. ionic cordova platform add ios
4. ionic cordova build ios
5. open Xcode, Build, Run , the app will crash

Error occurs in CDVWKWebViewEngine.m, pluginInitialize

see attached screenshot of error.

Hm. I deleted and recreated my iPhone X simulator, and the problem went away. Only thing I can think of is that my simulator was perhaps restored from a time Machine backup from the old architecture and was therefore invalid (or something). Will close this shortly if the problem does not recur.

Closing this, as recreating the simulator seems to have resolved it.
