I cannot seem to find a real solution for my problem anywhere.. After following the Capacitor documentation and creating successfully an app as well as a plugin, i've linked them both using the following commands:
in plugin directory:
-npm run build
-npm link
in app's directory:
-npm link plugin-name
-npm install
-npx cap sync
I open the app's workspace and want to run it on my device but instead I am getting an error in the added plugin of the app, that a certain library I'm using in it does not exist.
p.s
Plugin builds normally and has no issues. This occurs only after I'm linking both plugin and app. Am I doing something wrong?
The error I'm getting inside the plugin's file.
Those are the frameworks linked to the capacitor app.
As of this moment I have solved the issue I had. Shamefully there aren't really any precise documentation regarding the subject so I'll try to answer as best I can:
My issue got resolved when I updated the dependencies inside the .podspec file inside my plugin's folder.
The specific package I wish to use with the plugin, should be specified inside the .podspec file i.e. :
s.dependency 'PicUPSDKv3' should be added.
After running -npx cap sync on my main project's folder, all pods were initialized correctly and I was able to build and run the project alongside the plugin without any errors.
Running npm install unlinks whatever is linked.
You should change the order, first npm install and then npm link plugin-name.
But it's better if instead of linking the plugin you install it from its local folder.

I have a project using a Cocoapods as dependency manager and I am trying to create an Xcode Cloud workflow for it, everything look simple to configure and I added the ci_post_clone.sh to run the pod install command before start building.
Based on the logs all the dependencies are downloaded but whenever it starts building I have the No such Module X error, I am not sure what i did wrong but it looks like xcode Cloud misses the step of Building targets in dependency order and it starts building the main project before building the dependencies
Did anyone face this problem and how did you fix it
Thank you for your help
I found a temporary solution by adding the pod folder to my repository, this is not what most people are willing to do but for now it is working
do you have a screenshot for how you set this up? Because the script file ci_post_clone.sh needs to exist in a repository named ci_scripts that is at the same level as your workspace / xcode project. You also need to be sure to mark that file as executable
then you can brew install cocoapods and run pod install on that script. cheers! just got this working this morning by following notes found here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/making-dependencies-available-to-xcode-cloud
I'm currently stuck on a problem related to my Ionic project.
I have an Ionic project on GitHub which i've been working on in the past few weeks, i have a few Cordova plugins as part of the project.
When downloading the project from GitHub, i can run the app using Ionic Serve without a problem. However, when trying to setup the project for xCode to run on local device(s), i run into a multitude of errors
Some include:
When running ionic 'cordova platform add ios' the following error appears
Error: Could not install from "ios" as it does not contain a package.json file.
When trying to run 'ionic cordova run ios -l --external'
Error: Error: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
I have not yet tried to transfer my code into a new Ionic project, as i wish to see if my problem can be solved without that hassle.

I figured it out. You have the exact same issue I've had with the android platform.
As I pointed it out in the comments, it is indeed caused by a "corrupted" project architecture.
How it happened
Initially, I had an issue with the cordova generated resources, somehow not being copied into the android platform directory. I tried plenty of things with the cordova-res CLI, including using the --copy and the --ios-project flags to force the copy to happen in the directory of my choice.
I couldn't manage to fix my issue, and then decided to rollback all my changes and start over on a clean project to try something else. Since then, I was not able to add the android platform anymore. Every single time, the following error was being thrown :
Error: Could not install from "android" as it does not contain a package.json file.
Explanation
With all my testing, I noticed that when using cordova to add the platform or copy the resources over, somehow, it had created the android platform in the wrong directory, at the root of my project instead of in the platforms folder. And that's where the issue comes from.
I can't explain it, but you will encounter this error every single time if you try to add a platform with cordova while having a folder with this platform name at the root of your project. I have no idea why this would prevent a platform from being added to the project, maybe this folder is used as a temp folder by the CLI.
Solution
The fix is to simply remove any ios or android directory at the root of your project.
The error will go away and you will be able to add the platform again.
#CodingJunkie
Regarding the Github repository you provided in your post, you will likely run into another error while trying to add the ios platform if you use cordova#>=9.0.0.
Using "requireCordovaModule" to load non-cordova module "xcode" is not supported.
Instead, add this module to your dependencies and use regular "require" to load it.
Check this issue#1033 for a workaround. However, it's not recommended to directly edit the plugin source code, you might want to look for another cordova Firebase plugin.
I also noticed you kinda mixed up cordova and capacitor in your project.
Make sure to use one or the other to avoid potential errors.
Hope this helped !

Thank you for your support! - i was sure that i had done this step while trying to fix the issue. It is such an absurd problem, it seems that there is a new project architecture as you mentioned which needs to be followed. I followed your steps with also one minor additional step as im working on the iIOS platform:
Delete iOS folder
cordova platform add ios
cordova prepare ios
ionic build
If step 2 throws an error causing the version not to be found or integrated into the project run - include '#latest' this also solved my problem
I am trying to create an ionic app on Mac.
I followed the instructions on ionic's website to create a basic app and was able to run it in the browser but when I run "ionic build ios" I get following error. I cannot find a log file or any other error to debug this. How do I go about fixing this?
Check your Gulp version and gulpfile.js. You may need to remove the calls to gulp.src
See:
Gulp TypeError: Arguments to path.join must be strings
and

ok, after lot of looking and searching I figured my npm install was messed up.
Part of my installs were in /usr/local and few of them were in /User/user.name/npm folders. /Users/user.name/npm was set in the npm config prefix.
I had two installs of cordova, one on each folder above. Some how the cordova from /usr/local was getting used to create the project and that was the old version.
To fix the problem, I uninstalled all my global npm installs and pointed my npm config prefix to /usr/local and gave myself execute permission on that folder. Everything is working now.
Here is the video that explains how to do it: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions
i've a cordova project created via cordova cli command.
i build the project for Android and iOS platform but... i copied the build project into respective workspace (eclipse/xcode) and i updated that single project.
Now i need to add a plugin.
The project into cordova project folder is now so outdate so i would add the plugin via cli and copy the plugin to the respective project.
I copied successfully the generated plugin into the android project, but i'm not able to do the same thing with iOS.
For example i added the console plugin for iOS
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.console
if i open and run the build project it work and i see my message in console, but if i try to copy the generated plugin into my existing project it doesn't work.
nobody could help me to understand how add manually a plugin into my existing project?
update
yes i know, i'll try to explain better
i have my cordova project under folder /Document/cordova
when i made an ios build via command line cordova put the built project under /Document/cordova/platforms/ios
well i copied the folder ios under /workspace/my-project-name
after some work under workspace i see that i need to add a cordova plugin.
i added the plugin via command line and it was added to /Document/cordova/platforms/ios
at this poin i have a project under /Document with plugin but asset outdated and one project updated without plugin under /workspace
i'm trying to copy from built project to /workspace project.
i copied
/workspace/my-project-name/my-project-name/Plugins
/workspace/my-project-name/my-project-name/config.xml
/workspace/my-project-name/www/plugins
/workspace/my-project-name/www/cordova.js
/workspace/my-project-name/www/cordova_plugins.js
but it doesn't work... i missed somethings?
After reading it several times I think I get more less the idea...
Well, I am not sure why do you want to copy the ios project outside the current location. I suppose you have a good reason to do it, however you can always tweak that project instead of going back and forward, cordova will not impact non cordova related files each time you run "cordova build".
Are you familiar with control versioning? Git, SVN, mercurial? If so it is simple just we which files were impacted once you add the plugin and copy those... If no, I suggest using control versioning anyways to help keep track of your code changes.
NOTE: Be aware if you build the cordova projet and then you just want to update the files noted above it is highly likely that it won't work, that is why you run "build" is not a simple file sync. I recommend taking the new cordova project with the plugin added and then just add you personal tweaks on the ios in the other folder. Or just tweak the ios folder inside platforms folder...
I hope you are doing for good reason. Anyway you are missing to copy below file to work
/workspace/my-project-name/my-project-name/platforms/ios/my-project-name/config.xml
Copying the cordova iOS platform folder is not a good idea. The reason is, cordova builds an Xcode project in the platform folder, and there is some sort of caching/built in references to absolute location of the original Xcode project. Therefore it would be unclear to you and to Xcode which file is being referenced from within Xcode. This may have caused some other unnoticed errors in the project as well. So therefore, instead of keeping original project path available along with the new path, I would recommend renaming the original project folder in order to remove the ambiguity. This way, you will assure that the right file versions are referenced.
I develop project named
MyProject
. I made a copy of this project -
MyProject.zip
I wanted to to use
app-engine
plugin, so I installed it and I got an error:
No Google AppEngine SDK specified. Either set APPENGINE_HOME in your
environment or specify google.appengine.sdk in your
grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy file
Doesn't matter. Now, I do not want to use this plugin. Whatever I do, it prints me this same error. I removed project and I extracted my zip file.
Still, is the same problem. Could you explain, how to remove permanently plugin from grails? I use MacOS
Thanks
Try to remove project copy from .grails:
rm -rf ~/.grails/%GRAILS VERSION%/projects/MyProject
