Ionic CLI 4.12.0

Cordova CLI version and cordova platform version

Cordova iOS - 5.0.1
Cordova Android - 9.0

cordova plugin version | grep phonegap-plugin-push 2.3.0

Ruby version - 2.3.7p

Reproducible with Cocoapods version 1.7.5 and 1.8.3

I'm about to submit app to stores. Did anyone had this issue before or any work around to fix this?

[GitToTheHub]

You should install CocoaPods manually, see here
I had a similar issue on a Mac with Cordova. It's not related to this plugin.

@GitToTheHub Thanks for reply. But when I run build command with verbose I below error

Plugins/phonegap-plugin-push/Pushplugin.m normal x86_64 objective c com.apple.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler (1 failure)

is this because of cocoapods ? or xcode ?

[GitToTheHub]

Have you first installed CocoaPods manually?
After that you should try

cordova platform remove ios
cordova platform add ios
cordova build ios

[DJmRek]

Having the same issue on my CI pipeline. Is the only possible solution to manually get the git repo?

[takhil]

The work around solve my issue , at first I installed cocoa-pods globally in build machine and run npm install, and build iOS and Android.

[DJmRek]

Yes the workaround worked for me too. But it slows down the build due to the repo cloning it performs. My build agent has a global 1.8.4 cocoapod installation. I've read about a change in cocoapod 1.8.x due to which the repo isn't nessesary anymore. The podfile needs a source on the new CDN instead
http://blog.cocoapods.org/CocoaPods-1.8.0-beta/

[GitToTheHub]

You wrote

But it slows down the build due to the repo cloning it performs.

You don't have to clone the repo each time you build your app. It's only required once.

Thanks for the link with the new CDN. Didn't know it's no longer neccessary in new versions.

[DJmRek]

Hi there, yes unfortunately we only have a hosted Apple build agent, so i can't persist the downloaded repository and have to clone it with every run. Do you think it might be worth of suggesting a pullrequest fixing the source in podfile and also updates the plugin.xml to the new tags?

The base problem seems to be in the cordova-ios platform.
apache/cordova-ios#700
But there is a fix on the way 😄
apache/cordova-ios#719

[GitToTheHub]

Ah ok, that explains, why you must download every time the complete repo. Really heavy ;) I think it would be great if this could be fixed by using the CDN links to avoid the problem, because a lot have problems with it. But when you say there is already a fix on the way, everything is fine and we must wait for an cordova-ios update ;)

I made it work by removing the platform, installing cocoapods and then adding the platform again.

Step by step:

cordova platform remove ios

brew install cocoapods --build-from-source

brew link --overwrite cocoapods

cordova platform add ios

[razam217]

@Akkora Thanks...

[arcreative]

The brew solution doesn't work for me--it causes many errors complaining about json and ffi not having pristine gems, even though the gems are fine...

[arcreative]

Actually, looks like this was an issue with my gemfile having an older version of cocoapods despite what I had installed on my system... man, the things that can go wrong with cordova!

[teuassuri2]

Help me please, I can't solve this problem

cordova platform add ios

@teuassuri2 - try installing cocoa-pods specific version globally and then npm install followed by ionic build would resolve issue.
