Description

I have updated nodejs, npm, cordova, cordova-ios, xcode, xcode command line tools, and everything else to the latest version. It's impossible to install the plugin any more. I have tried to install it on Windows OS and Mac OS, and the error is the same.

Steps to reproduce

Can be reproduced from an empty project, from Mac os command line, if cordova and xcode and xcode cmd line tools are updated to the latest version, for example with this script:

npm update -g cordova create cordovabugiosrtc com.example.hello HelloWorld cd cordovabugiosrtc sudo cordova platform add ios sudo cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-iosrtc

Expected results

installed

Actual results

$> sudo cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-iosrtc

A precision

I have tried to install an older version of cordova-cli, and it doesn't fix the error. So i conclude the plugin add error could be related to the version of xcode command line tools or xcode. This is what the last step of the stack trace suggests. So I have added the version of the Xcode command line tools in the versions block above, obtained with the command pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables. Maybe having at least this version installed helps reproducing the error?

Try using cordova 10 then 11

Also no sudo
