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'm guessing that attempting to use deprecated code is the reason for seeing the error message.

It appears that one should be using the latest version of node. I also performed all my software updates for Xcode. I also connected my iPhone to my computer. Even after that (and before I updated node) I was still seeing this:

cordova platform add ios

Warning: using node version v0.12.0 which has been deprecated. Please upgrade to the latest node version available (v6.x is recommended).
Using cordova-fetch for cordova-ios@^4.4.0
Adding ios project...
Error: Your ios platform does not have Api.js

Then I decided to resolve the warning by updating node. And finally success:

sudo n latest
node --version
=> v8.0.0

cordova platform rm ios
cordova platform add ios

Using cordova-fetch for cordova-ios@~4.4.0

Answer 2
