IOS build fails for MFP Cordova-Ionic project

Question

I am trying to build my MFP cordova Ionic based hybrid application created using CLI . It works perfect for android but it fails when I try to build it for iOS. There are multiple errors which I am facing

xcodebuild[14887:399060] [MT] PluginLoading: Required plug-in compatibility UUID 7FDF5C7A-131F-4ABB-9EDC-8C5F8F0B8A90 for plug-in at path '~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins/VVDocumenter-Xcode.xcplugin' not present in DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUIDs

I tried resolving this issue by adding required missing key-val in plist file

When I try to run it from Xcode I am getting error - Some keys are missing in worklight.plist

After adding missing keys now I am getting

2016-05-04 17:50:28.507 StoreApp[14787:396490] [FATAL] [WL_INIT] -[WLImpl initWL] in WLImpl.m:180 :: Init failure: Can't read checksum.js, The operation couldn't be completed. (Cocoa error 258.), (null). Reinstall the application and try again.

Even I have tried running simple MFP cordova project,but build fails for this

idanadar@mbp-idan:~/Desktop$ cd myapp/
idanadar@mbp-idan:~/Desktop/myapp$ mfp cordova run --platform ios

The iOS Simulator then started and the application was displayed.
