cordova platform add ios

Question

I tried to add ios platform to my phonegap project, but failed. I've already added the android platform successfully. The development environment is Mac. My Xcode version is above 5. I already installed node.js, ant, cordova, phonegap, and so on. This is my first time to ask a question. I already checked other similar questions, but it does not work. Anybody can give some suggestions?

When I run cordova platform add ios in my project file, here is the console output:

Creating ios project...

Unknown option: n

Usage: head [-options] <url>...
    -m <method>   use method for the request (default is 'HEAD')

Cordova can only run in Xcode version 4.6 or greater.

Error: /Users/Magnusmode/.cordova/lib/ios/cordova/3.5.0/bin/create: Command failed with exit code 2

Maybe I added the wrong path of Xcode to ~/.profile. Here is the part of the ~/.profile:

export PATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs:"$PATH"
export PATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk:"$PATH"
export PATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app:"$PATH"
export PATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications:"$PATH"

Based on the answer here and the answer here , it sounds like you're on the right track with looking at your PATH variable.

In particular, if you have XAMPP installed, try commenting out this line from your ~/.profile like so:

# export /PATH=/Applications/XAMPP/bin:$PATH
