OS X install error about cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine HOT 8 CLOSED

Hello! Thanks for opening an issue with us! Would you mind posting the whole error here? Also, can you update your Ionic cli by running npm install -g ionic ? It looks you may be running a slightly older version. Finally, could you try with cordova plugin add instead of Ionic plugin add? Thanks!

That's the whole error, on repeated runs it prints this:

The plugin folder appears, so the installation doesn't fail completely.
cordova plugin add gives the same result.
Installing ionic-cli 2.0.0 doesn't work (there's already an issue about that on the cli repo ionic-team/ionic-cli#1288), but it's just 2.0.0-beta.37 relabeled, if I'm not mistaken, so that shouldn't be the problem.

Interesting, thanks for the info. @manucorporat any ideas on the above? @Kobzol Out of curiosity what version of xcode are you running? Also, on the cli issue, do you normally use sudo to install global npm packages?

In case it helps troubleshooting:

install works ok for me with no errors, I am using the latest ionic@beta as of today. ionic info for reference, I also updated to the latest version of the ios platform before installing.

Gulp version: CLI version 3.9.1
Gulp local: Local version 3.9.1
Ionic Framework Version: 2.0.0-beta.10

My Xcode version is 7.3.1 Build version 7D1014. I'm indeed using sudo to install global npm packages.

Hi @Kobzol! can you post your package.json, platforms/platforms.json, plugins/ios.json, fetch.json?

Cordova CLI always prints terrible error messages.

Can you also try to recreate the whole cordova project? ie. remove platforms/ and plugins/
After that you would have to:
cordova platform add ios

and manually add the plugins in case you did not use --save previously.
also, you should: ionic build < this will compile the TS to JS etc. etc.

When I removed the platforms and plugins directories and manually run cordova platform add ios, the plugin installation worked. I already tried it before without success, but I used ionic state restore instead of manually adding the platform, that was the only difference AFAIK. But that command is already deprecated and it works now, so this is resolved, thank you for your help :-)

@Kobzol glad it worked!
With cordova, removing everything is the best solution most of the times haha
