Cordova Error: Your ios platform does not have Api.js

Question

I\'m trying to build a cordova ios app but not having much luck and getting strange errors.

Using this version of Cordova with older version of cordova-i

Answer 1

I always fix this error removing the platform and adding it again (android in my case)

phonegap platform rm android

wait until it finishes...

phonegap platform add android

And that´s it. Let me know if it is fixed for you.

Answer 2

This problem can also occur when you have both the Android and iOS installed. At least this was the case for me.

When I ran the command:

cordova platform rm android

It started to work

Answer 3

I was having exactly this problem but managed to solve it by simply removing and then adding the IOS platform within my project:

cordova platform rm ios
cordova platform add ios

This seemed to fix whatever had somehow got broken when updating Cordova...

Answer 4

Has same issue with latest version of cordova (7.0.1)

Faced error while adding iOS platform and managed to resolve it by upgrading nodeJS to latest version (6.11.1)

Answer 5

For those of you that have tried updating your NodeJs and that didn't work.

Go check in your platforms/android or platforms/ios folder. Mine was empty. Delete the folder, and run ionic cordova add android/ios again.

Answer 6

Downgraded to cordova 8 and it's working.
