In a larger context I resorted back to creating a blank project and running my build commands. Same error:
ionic start myApp blank
cd myApp
ionic cordova run
This worked for me
Open your workspace file, then File --> WorkSpace Settings
In shared Workspace settings, choose Build System: Legacy Build System.
Then run ionic cordova run -l

Update
I just found out that Cordova IOS 5.0.0 was released. https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2019/02/09/cordova-ios-release-5.0.0.html
