为什么 Xcode 在这个 Ionic 应用程序中找不到 info.plist？

Question

I have not been able to get around this error. Not sure why it's throwing this. I have other similar Ionic apps that build just fine. I don't see any differences and haven't been able to find a resolution online. Below is the error:

Info.plist Utility Error Group

error: could not read data from '.../brt-portal/platforms/ios/CordovaLib/Cordova/Info.plist': The file “Info.plist” couldn't be opened because there is no such file.

Here is my Ionic and Xcode info for the project

This sounds like it's related to modern build system. Namely, XCode 10 uses the modern build system by default, whereas Cordova 4.5.5 does not.

What you could do is either to update to cordova-ios 5.0+ ( platform remove and platform add to be sure everything is rebuilt correctly).

Or force XCode to use Legacy build system via: ionic cordova build ios -- --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0 , or create a build.json in your project root with:

{  
"ios": {
    "debug": {
      "buildFlag": [
        "-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
      ]
    },
    "release": {
      "buildFlag": [
        "-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Or open your XCode workspace and click File -> Workspace Settings -> Build System: Legacy Build System
