Error: Remote build error from the build server Build failed with error Remotebuild requires your projects to use cordova-ios 4.3.0 or greater with XCode 8.3. Please update your cordova-ios version.

Answer 1

From this link you can see how to update cordova:

npm update -g cordova

On next link you can find instructions for ios cordova update. Basically its just removing ios platform and adding it back again for projects built with Cordova 4.x version:

cordova platform rm ios
cordova platform add ios

For older versions use:

cordova platform update ios

Answer 2

Visual Studio 2015 was forcing the 4.1.1 version for cordova-ios.

This worked for me on the command line:

cordova platform add ios@4.3.1

cordova-ios 4.3.1

Note: And i deleted the "bld" folder from the cordova project root.

Answer 3

This is what worked for me in Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition.

1) Delete the platforms / ios folder in the root folder of your project

2) In the platforms folder, edit the platforms.json file manually with the version you want, in my case it was:

{
"android": "5.2.1",
"ios": "4.3.0"
}

3) Update your config.xml file in your project like so:

  <engine name="ios" spec="4.3.0" />

4) Run your project.
