Describe the bug Just finished to configure Firebase for Android to:

• receiving push notification (<-- ok)
• displaying adv (<-- ok)

It works ok

(Nb. To let "nativescript-plugin-firebase" work with "nativescript-geolocation", I had to write this line in the app.gradle: project.ext { googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1" } )

Now I'm trying to run on iOS (after removing the platform ios from the folder, to let the runner generate it from zero): tns run ios

But I'm getting this error during the installation: Unable to apply changes on device: 314852F5-762C-4287-8565-3081236DB5A0. Error is: Command xcrun with arguments simctl install 314852F5-762C-4287-8565-3081236DB5A0 /Users/alessandro/Documents/Progetti/cmi-app-nativescript/meteo-by-centrometeoitaliano/platforms/ios/build/emulator/meteobycentrometeoitaliano.app failed with exit code 1.

Is there some trouble between nativescript and geolocation also for iOS?

Thank you

Hi @s-ale,

As we fixed some issues related to xcrun in rc version of {N} CLI, I'd like to ask you to update your NativeScript.

npm un -g nativescript
npm i -g nativescript@rc

Let me know if this fixes the issue on your side.

[s-ale]

Hi @Fatme

Just followed your instructions, but the problem remains. Here's the part of the log around that which I get the error in:

[enrico-atzeni]

same issue for me

[diegozen]

I'm having this error, but only when using --template tns-template-hello-world on tns create

[chrillewoodz]

Also having this issue, but it didn't start to appear until I tried adding the https://github.com/dapriett/nativescript-google-maps-sdk plugin.

[Fatme]

@s-ale, @enrico-atzeni, @DiegoZen, @chrillewoodz

I removed the following from App_Resources/iOS/Info.plist and was able to reproduce the problem.

<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME}</string>

So can you please check if you have the above code in your App_Resources/iOS/Info.plist? Can you please check platforms/iOS/<projectName>/<projectName>-Info.plist as well?

Maybe some hook modifies the Info.plist file under the App_Resources and it remains broken.

[liam-nirvana]

Hey guys, I also have this problem, Is anyone fix it ? please tell me , It's drive me crazy :(

[diegozen]

Deleting platforms/ios folder and do tns run ios worked to me !

[rosen-vladimirov]

Hey guys, do you reproduce the error, can we close this issue?

[hamzamalfawaer]

any solution ?????

[rosen-vladimirov]

@hamzamalfawaer , what is the issue you are facing, do you have steps to reproduce. Please, whenever you ask for help, provide all the required information in the issue template. We cannot help you without getting full information for the issue, circumstances, etc.

[hamzamalfawaer]

@rosen-vladimirov I've changed to nativescript v6 using angular and everything worked perfectly

But still can provide info about previous version of app to help others if faced same problem just let me know which info should I send

[rosen-vladimirov]

Hey @hamzamalfawaer , Can you provide the following information:

• your package.json content
• command with which you reproduce the error
• iOS Simulator version (i.e. what kind is the iOS Simulator and what is the iOS version)
• macOS version
• exact steps which you execute when the issue occurs

• command with which you reproduce the error : tns run ios
• iOS Simulator version : iphone 7 / ios 12 (using xcode simulator)
• macOS version : 10.14.5
• exact steps which you execute when the issue occurs : after app installation on the device it try to run it but unexpectedly it fails

[kleingtm]

I ran into this when using NS Sidekick and renaming the root directory of my project. If NS Sidekick project name (immutable) and your directory name get out of sync, it can't find it

[aosi87]

I had the same issue today, i was trying to configure Info.plist, to be more precise:

    <key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>
	<string>${PRODUCT_NAME}</string>
	<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
	<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME}</string>

Looks like i cannot set the name in that file, what i end up doing was, let it be, and open xcode do my changes there, generate the build, publish it and no problem, but every time i want to do publish my app ill have to do all this process again.

Any updates on this?

[thorvaldemar]

Has anyone found a solution?

I get this error every time I try to execute tns run ios

[pageSwanson]

I solved this issue by reverting to nativescript 6.8.0 from 7.2.0 I did so after reading the following post - apparently xcode 11.x.x is not supported for nativescript 7

https://nativescript.org/blog/nativescript-6-7-xcode-compatibility/

Posting the details of my original error / environment below - in case it helps others identify the same problem.

Environment

• OS : OSX 10.14.6
• CLI: 7.2.0
• Cross-platform modules: ?
• Android Runtime: -
• iOS Runtime: @nativescript/ios has 7.2.0
• XCode Version: Version 11.3.1

To Reproduce

ns create --js npm install ns run ios --emulator

Context I had tried making changes to the Info.plist in App_resources, running ns clean, and 'Erase all content & settings' using the simulator, and I've tried updating the version of nativescript/core

[cupidchan]

I have the same issue even for the latest version: NativeScript: 8.0.1 Xcode: 12.4 iOS: 14.4

[javierpal]

Same here, deleting platforms folder don't seems to work.

[tdarr-okbu]

Same issue for

• Xcode 11.7

• NativeScript 8.0.2

• iOS 10.15.7

Any resolution?

[msimicshauma]

Same issue here.

• xcode 12
• nativescrip 8.0.2

[chakravarthiponmudi]

Same issue here.

• xcode 11.3.1
• 8.0.2 Just tried to install a template ns create ExpenseTracker --template @nativescript/template-tab-navigation-ng

[aosi87]

I figure this issue a few months back, looks like that my project was build using the companion app, then updated to current versions, current versions handle this properties in different files, so be careful when you update or move from one version to another, what i end up doing was to redo my configurations and move my SRC code to the new generated project.

hope this helps.

[bitsnaps]

Same issue here running the default hello app:
