Thanks for raising this issue and providing logs.

Currently cordova-ios isn't compatible with Xcode 10's new build system, but there are some workarounds documented here.
I'll keep this issue open for us to investigate what we need to change to be compatible with Xcode 10, but wanted to provide that link to workarounds for anyone who has upgraded and is running into this.

Hi dpogue,

I followed the workaround instructions by changing the build system to Legacy. The issue isn't resolved yet. My code was running fine and was even published to App Store before I upgraded to Xcode 10.1.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks in anticipation of your response.

Hi, i am trying to build cordova ios project with Xcode 10 on command line. I am getting below error

Running command: /Users/zs/Development/svn/ICFieldView/trunk/root/ICFieldView.Mobile/mJSCS/platforms/ios/cordova/build
Cordova can only run in Xcode version 4.6 or greater.
Error: /Users/zs/Development/svn/ICFieldView/trunk/root/ICFieldView.Mobile/mJSCS/platforms/ios/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2
at ChildProcess.whenDone (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/cordova-lib/src/cordova/superspawn.js:135:23)

at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:877:16)
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:226:5)

It fails, even when i use, --buildFlag='-UseModernBuildSystem=0'

we are using Cordova version 3.5.0-0.2.7
and cordova ios version 3.5.

Please let me know how to fix the issue. On Xcode 9.4, the build is working successfully.

Open a new issue @ashishkumar2804 please - here this will get overlooked and ignored.

from cordova-ios.

Incase it helps anyone I was able to fix this with the Legacy Build setting and in src-cordova/platforms/ios/cordova/build-release.xcconfig change it to:

CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = iPhone Developer
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*] = iPhone Developer

Just don't forget to do it again after a remove & re-add of platform ios. 😄
