Can't run ionic cordova platform M1 chip

Ionic Framework
1

Description:
On apple M1 I got an error using ionic cordova platform add. Why I don’t know ? How did I got that ? I don’t know either, all was working almost fine, I mean I got trouble with ionic cordova so I removed the platform using the cli and tried to add it back.

Then the error. Since I moved to M1 I got thousands of errors with ionic cordova (not the cli directly instead of today’s error)

The same repository with no changes from scratch works on mac intel.

Steps to Reproduce:
I don’t know, maybe try using ionic codova with MAC M1, sorry for the lack of details

Output:

ionic cordova platform add ios or ionic cordova platform

Other Information:

I’d be glad to give you more information but I gave you all I know. This bug happened after I removed my platform because I got errors before (only on M1) , we tried on intel chip.
Similar issue

I am not able to execute the following on the M1 Mac Mini:

ionic cordova prepare ios

This fairly recent video link seems to corroborate our experiences.

I got so many different errors using Ionic cordova with a M1 chip. The one above is only one from many other. I guess the only answer is do not use ionci cordova with an M1 chip or do not use an M1 chip with ionic cordova.
