gulp-cordova-build-ios

Build the cordova project for the iOS platform.

Installation

npm install --save-dev gulp-cordova-build-ios

Usage

const gulp = require('gulp');
const create = require('gulp-cordova-create');
const plugin = require('gulp-cordova-plugin');
const ios = require('gulp-cordova-build-ios');

gulp.task('build', () => {
    return gulp.src('www')
        .pipe(create())
        .pipe(plugin('org.apache.cordova.dialogs'))
        .pipe(plugin('org.apache.cordova.camera'))
        .pipe(ios());
});

This plugin will build the cordova project for the iOS platform.

Optional parameters

The ios(options) method accepts some optional parameters. The options parameter is an object with value of:

• reAdd (boolean), this will cause the ios platform to be removed and re-added.
• version (string), this will force the cordova to get the specified platform version of ios platform support.

For backward compatibility, it accepts the parameter with the following format:

ios(reAdd, version)

If the first parameter passed in is a boolean with value of true, it will first remove the entire iOS platform and add it again. The second parameter is the requested version of the platform.

const gulp = require('gulp');
const ios = require('gulp-cordova-build-ios');

gulp.task('rebuild', () => {
    return gulp.src('.cordova')
        .pipe(ios(true));
});

This task will simply remove the iOS platform, add it again and rebuild it.

$ cordova platform remove ios
$ cordova platform add ios
$ cordova build ios

If no parameter is provided, it will only build the platform.
