I have been trying to debug an Apache Cordova app with Visual Studio 2015 RC in a Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine. The app is running in an iOS simulator in a MAC OS host using vs-mda-remote (I've tried with different iPhone versions), but the debug always times out. There doesn't seem to be a proper error, only the following:
Starting launch process C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node.exe "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vs-tac\emulator.js" --platform ios --action launch --path
"C:\XXXXX\bld\ios\Debug\buildInfo.json" --serverUrl iMac-User.local:3000 --language pt-PT --cliVersion 5.1.1 --deployTarget "iPhone 5"
Timed out connecting debugger to remote Apache Cordova app. See Output window for JavaScript console output.
------ Cordova Tools 5.1.1 already installed.

Emulating app at /Users/user/remote-builds/builds/5689/cordovaApp for target iPhone 5
Asking to debug in remote iOS device for buildNumber 5689 in server iMac-User.local:3000...
Fail to debug remote iOS in order to compile C:\XXXXX\bld\ios\Debug\buildInfo.json to http://iMac-User.local:3000 :

I have already tried to clean cordova's cache, using vs-mda-remote --secure false and some other suggestions I found online. However, nothing seems to work. It's not the project itself, as a friend of mine is able to debug it. The configuration from his computer seem to be the same as mine.
Any ideas on what might be the problem?
Thanks.
I have found the problem, there must have been something wrong with the installation of Homebrew. So I reinstalled it, and forced install ios-webkit-debug-proxy. This solved my problem and I am now able to debug the app.

I have a notebook with windows installed and a virtual machine of MacOs Catalina.
Connecting the Mac to Visual Studio on windows works without a problem but when I want to run the Xamarin.Ios Project the simulator boots and after some seconds the error
"could not launch the app (bundle_name) on the device iOS 13.3 - iPhone 11: The request to open (bundle_name) failed.
occures.
Here is the error
The latest version of XCode (11.3.1) and Visualstudio 2019 are both installed on the virtual machine.
Sometimes another error occures on the virtual machine which says that springboard quit unexpected. Don't know if it has something to do with this problem
Here is the error for the springboard error
Does anyone know how to solve this? I looked it up online but I can't find a working solution.
I had same problem. I changed my provisioning profile from distribution to development and it fixed .
This is link of the same problem I raised in Visual Studio Developer support portal.

I am trying to debug cordova app in iPhone 5s local device connected to my laptop.
visual studio 2017 cordova 7.0.1 xcode 8.3.1 ios 10.2.1
After build it is failing at deployment.
build successful but failing to deploy to IOS device.
it is bringing up itunes and then shows the app there and device is identified but says error occured continue or not? and fails.
Earlier I deployed and several times debugged directly with local device.
one error result states, version mismatch other says device may not be connected and awake.
I am using ipod 9.3 version ios and another one iphone 5s with 10.2.1 ios.
I am building apache cordova app in visual studio 2017 with macincloud remotebuild.
how to resolve this!? any hint is a big help!!
I am manually deploying but can't debug. now,
i am getting network error at xmlhttprequest in device and but same code working fine in simulator.
when press device button then and i restart app then it is dumping a big error message and showing exitapp though i am not using any of that plugin or code line.
how to debug on device is first priority which may help to resolve rest.

Is everybody happily working with this latest releases of Cordova IOS xcode vs 2017 or everybody facing the same problem as I am?
Issue is resolved, I am able to debug after I built my own VM of IOS and then debug but not sure what really resolved this.
What I can make out is,
unlike earlier, (not sure correct or wrong because this I could not do when I was using macincloud),
now the provisional profile need to be tagged to even device for debugging which was earlier sufficient to just list the device uuid in store certificates and profiles section.
I am getting the following error when trying to run Visual Studio/Xamarin built application on the IOS Simulator.
Launch failed. The app 'App2' could not be launched on 'iPhone 7 Plus iOS 10.1'. Please check the logs for more details.
"App2" was created using the Tab Template, and NO code changes after rolling the application.
Windows environment: Windows 10 w/Visual Studio 2015 update 2
Mac environment: IMac Sierra fully patched. XCode 8.1 (what ever is most up to date).
I have connected the mac remote and pc. I can launch the iPhone simulator on the mac from Visual studio on the PC.
I get the error when trying to run "App2". It compiles fine, just won't run on the simulator.
I've searched here, and similar results speak of VS Crashing. Mine doesn't crash, just presents the error. NOTE: There's nothing in any log I can find with details by the way.
Ideas? Thanks!
EDIT: Just loaded up Parallels on the IMac and ran Win 10/VStudio. I get the same error. Again, xamarin remote agent connected and I can start the simulator from the PC, i just can't deploy to it.
After all the research and help from those here it comes down to a bug with the current version of Xamarin. Options are to wait until a new stable build is on the Xamarin site or get builds off of GIT. I'm choosing to wait, as I've not had great luck working with interim builds.
Xamarin that downloads with the new VS 2017 fixes this bug.
I try to build my Cordova App' on Iphone without success. Everything is ok with Android and Windows Phone. I always have the same error when I try to build it on Iphone or iOS simulator : "Could Not find module 'npm-registry-client'".
Here's some screens:
PC:
Mac (Remote Build):
I use Visual studio 2015 on Windows PC,Angular JS framework, Npm 2.11.3 and NodeJS 0.12.7 . I've already build a blank Iphone app' with Xcode 7 on my mac. I've tried to remove the node_modules folder and reinstall Npm but it's not working...
Any suggestions?
Thanks for reading
EDIT : SOLUTION
I found the solution. 'npm-registry-client' was installed on my Windows PC but not on my Mac. In terminal,just write "npm install npm-registry-client" and everything works great!! (Emulator and device)
That error is most likely a bad install of Cordova on your Mac. Clearing out the installed Cordova version(s) from ~/.taco_home/node_modules will let the next build reinstall Cordova and should clear up the problem.
It's also possible but less likely that a Cordova install issue happened on your Windows machine instead. Reading the Output panel in VS will tell you if the error happened in the remote build log section or not. If it didn't come from the remote build, then clearing your Cordova cache and your npm cache would be the needed fix.
Hope that helps.
I'm trying to build a blank cordova application into my iPad Air 2 with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise edition as i've already done it with success with the release candidate version.
I've got node.js v 4.2.2 on both machines since version 5.2.0 was hanging the build indefinitely, i've also got latest version of iTunes (12.3.1) as well as iOS 9.2 on the mobile device.
I've got the remote MAC set up and everything works fine for the building part, infact i've checked and the .ipa file is there at the end of the build into the folder ...\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\BlankCordovaApp1\BlankCordovaApp1\bin\iOS\Debug and if i launch that it will correctly install into iTunes and the iPad itself.
The problem is that the build action with Configuration "iOS" and "Local Device" with the iPad connected to the windows 7 PC will hang indefinitely after copying back said .ipa file after writing this line into the Build Output:
2>------ Deploy started: Project: BlankCordovaApp1, Configuration: Debug iOS ------
No matter how much time i wait it wont start the debug session even if i authorized the pc onto the iPad and have my web Inspector turned on onto the safari options. At this point i have to interrupt the build to be able to work again.
What really gets me is that if i connect the iPad to the MAC machine and build with "Remote Device" option the build works fine and i can debug remotely from my windows pc, unfortunately working like that isn't an option since the Apple machine isn't in the same room of my developing machine.
Any insight about this issue would be really appreciate, thanks in advance.
You are using a recent version of node and thus will also need to use a recent version of Cordova.
Specifically, you need to use Cordova 5.3.3 to be able to use Node.js 4.x.x+. The hang you are experiencing is exactly why. It's an incompatibility with a down stream node module and Node 4.x.x. You can downgrade to Node 0.12.x or upgrade your Cordova project to 5.3.3.
http://cordova.apache.org/news/2015/09/22/tools-release.html
Note that Node 5.x.x is only supported in Cordova 5.4.1.
This should be addressed in the latest VS Tools for Cordova Update 6. Deploying to local device is now available.
Take a look at http://microsoft.github.io/vstacoblog/2016/02/04/announcing-update-6.html.
