Can't add iOS platform to ionic app, Mac OS - ios

Question

I am trying to add iOS platform to my ionic 1 app but I get errors. How can I go further to build my app?
$ cordova platform add ios --save
Using cordova-fetch for cordova-ios#~4.3.1
(node:14587) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: CordovaError: Failed to fetch platform cordova-ios#~4.3.1
Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and platform name/version/URL.

Answer 1

First update the NPM
$npm update -g
then remove and add ios platform
$ionic cordova platform rm ios && ionic cordova platform add ios

Answer 2

this did the trick: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45491459/2217647
updating npm allowed $ cordova platform add ios to work.

Answer 3

Try this command instead of just using cordova.
Use this command $ionic cordova platform add ios --save.
And try updating the node modules and npm
