Add platform ios failed for cordova-ios@3.9.2

ionic-v1

Hello,
I have an issue with command

ionic platform add ios

it returns this error:

Failed to fetch platform ios
Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and platform name/version/URL.
Error: version not found: cordova-ios@3.9.2

My “ionic info”

Cordova CLI: 5.3.3
Gulp version:  CLI version 3.9.0
Gulp local:   Local version 3.9.0
Ionic Version: 1.1.0
Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.7
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.6.3

ios-sim version: 5.0.3 
OS: Mac OS X El Capitan
Node Version: v4.2.1

Can somebody help me, please?

I removed and added ios platform without problems, some day ago.

Thank you very much,

I had the same issue and it was also not magically fixed.
Reading this stackoverflow post did the trick:

It seems cordova keeps a cached version in your ${HOME}/.cordova folder.
When I deleted this folder, the adding of the platform 3.9.2 worked.

NOW #SOLVED after: rm -rf ~/.cordova

You are on Windows, rm doesn’t exist here.
The path you are looking for would be C:\Users\##Username##\.cordova
