Answer 1

I've just come across this and my solution was to remove the iOS platform from the project:

ionic platform rm ios

Then add it back in again

ionic platform add ios

I needed to run an initial build for it to fail with no signing set, so opening up the project in Xcode to just fix that. After that, building via the ionic cli worked as expected. I am guessing that re-adding the platform pulled in a new version of cordova-ios.

Update: I had only started on this project and created the base project from the blank template. I have Xcode 8.3.1 installed and using Ionic 3 (still with the --v2 switch with ionic cli).
