Hey,

I lately **updated**  **homebrew** and now my build is breaking.

When I do “ionic cordova build ios” the build is **stopping at “lint finished”** and I am getting **no error**.  
(Please see attachment below).  
Therefore I am thinking the issue was caused by the update.

My versions:  
**Ionic: 3.20.0**  
**Cordova: 7.1.0**  
**Node: v8.12.0**  
**npm: 6.4.1**

Which version do I need to change to make it work again?

Would mean a lot if someone could help me because I found nothing on the internet regarding this problem.  
Thanks in advance. (Sorry for the bad English)

There is no new xcode project file after the build. Thank you for that hint. I tried building the android version and it worked. So it maybe is caused because of the new xcode version 10.0 (and the new iPhones)?
