"Error: Cannot read property ‘replace’ of undefined" for ios-sim

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

@shazron added an even better (inofficial) “solution” to use, that also works if you readd the ios platform:

In the meantime, I cherry-picked the ios-sim fix only and applied it to cordova-ios@4.4.0
To use:
cordova platform add https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios.git#4.4.0-ios-sim

This is not an official release of Apache Cordova.

The solution for me was run ionic cordova build ios and after open Xcode to run in a simulator o in a device. is more slow but work for me, I hope Cordova release the solution in the next days.

Why don’t you do this: “Error: Cannot read property ‘replace’ of undefined” for ios-sim

I followed the comment here and it worked great: https://github.com/phonegap/ios-sim/issues/210#issuecomment-307590994

cd platforms/ios/node_modules
npm i ios-sim@latest

And pammm worked

Ty man, uninstalling glball ios-sim solved my problem

40

I think folder structure has changed to platforms/ios/cordova/node_modules.

But npm install ios-sim under folder platforms/ios/cordova/ worked for me.

41

Thanks @Sujan12 This fixed it for me. Bit of a shame that after 3 months this is still an issue.
I’d just started on ionic2 with a fresh install of everything and a simple ionic cordova emulate ios doesn’t work without this fix!

That is actually an issue with Cordova in general, they are sometimes not that fast in releasing updates as not really that many people are working on it. As far as I understand the problem, it also depends on your local configuration so not all people get the error.
