Bug Report

error: unable to resolve product type 'com.apple.product-type.watchkit2-extension' for platform 'iphonesimulator' (in target 'myapp Extension' from project 'myapp')

Problem

I have added watch app extension to my existing iOS mobile app. After adding when I run "cordova build ios -verbose" in mac terminal getting below issue.

Error : CordovaError: Could not parse /Users/pblrmac/Desktop/Eswar_Watch/watch_With_Notifications/working/myapp_watch_working_Bak/platforms/ios/myapp.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: CordovaError: * Could not find -Info.plist file, or config.xml file. at handleBuildSettings (/Users/pblrmac/Desktop/Eswar_Watch/watch_With_Notifications/working/myapp_watch_working_Bak/platforms/ios/cordova/lib/prepare.js:279:31) at updateProject (/Users/pblrmac/Desktop/Eswar_Watch/watch_With_Notifications/working/myapp_watch_working_Bak/platforms/ios/cordova/lib/prepare.js:226:12) at updateWww.then (/Users/pblrmac/Desktop/Eswar_Watch/watch_With_Notifications/working/myapp_watch_working_Bak/platforms/ios/cordova/lib/prepare.js:50:21) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7) at Function.Module.runMain (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:757:11) at startup (internal/bootstrap/node.js:283:19) at bootstrapNodeJSCore (internal/bootstrap/node.js:622:3)

To fix this issue, I have added @leogoesger suggested code(https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/764) in /platforms/ios/cordova/lib/projectFile.js file.

replace, around 43, after prettier

var xcBuildConfiguration = xcodeproj.pbxXCBuildConfigurationSection(); var plist_file_entry = _.find(xcBuildConfiguration, function(entry) { return entry.buildSettings && entry.buildSettings.INFOPLIST_FILE; }); with

var projectName = fs .readdirSync(project_dir) .find(d => d.includes(".xcworkspace")) .replace(".xcworkspace", "");

var xcBuildConfiguration = xcodeproj.pbxXCBuildConfigurationSection(); var plist_file_entry = _.find(xcBuildConfiguration, function(entry) { return ( entry.buildSettings && entry.buildSettings.INFOPLIST_FILE && entry.buildSettings.INFOPLIST_FILE.includes(projectName) ); });

What is expected to happen?

cordova build ios command should run successfully.

What does actually happen?

Could not find -Info.plist file, or config.xml file. issue got resolved but throwing following exception when I run cordova build ios. I am facing below issue when I run cordova build iOS command (log added below). Could you help me in resolving following issue?

Information

For testing purpose I have created HelloWorld sample cordova app and added cordova ios 6.1.0 (I have tried with cordova ios 6.1.1 as well but facing same issue) after installing ios 6.1.0, I have run the build "cordova build ios" command successfully. I opened the HelloWorld app in xcode 11.3.1 and added ios watch app (In XCODE, File--> New--> Target--> select watchOS tab--> under applications select Watch App for iOS App --> click on Next button--> fill in the details and select Objective-C, select NotificationScene --> Click Finish--> Click on Activate button Then when I run "cordova build ios" in Mac Terminal getting Could not find -Info.plist file, or config.xml file. error. Then added @leogoesger suggested code(https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/764) Then when I run "cordova build ios" again getting following errors:

error: unable to resolve product type 'com.apple.product-type.watchkit2-extension' for platform 'iphonesimulator' (in target 'myapp Extension' from project 'myapp') error: unable to resolve product type 'com.apple.product-type.watchkit2-extension' for platform 'iphonesimulator' (in target 'myapp Extension' from project 'myapp') error: unable to resolve product type 'com.apple.product-type.application.watchapp2' for platform 'iphonesimulator' (in target 'myapp' from project 'myapp') error: unable to resolve product type 'com.apple.product-type.application.watchapp2' for platform 'iphonesimulator' (in target 'myapp' from project 'myapp')

@ejonnadula I am facing the same issue for now I just leave my iPhone plugged in. It has an Apple Watch connected I assume that makes a difference. Ultimately I think Cordova needs to add the watch SDK to the build command but I didnt get that far with integrating the watch app yet.

[ejonnadula]

Thanks for your response Philip. When I run "cordova build ios" command my iphone not connected to Mac system, and no iphone/watch app simulator is up.
