Yeah, different error - I moved your post to its own topic.

Please edit your post and use the </> button above the post input field to format your code or error message or wrap it in ``` (ā€œcode fencesā€) manually. This will make sure your text is readable and if it recognizes the programming language it also automatically adds code syntax highlighting. Thanks.

Also we need the whole output kinda, not just the end.

Hi,
i think this is the same error as here:

This is the offical bug fix from Cordova:
in your project folder root, do cd platforms/ios/cordova && npm install ios-sim

Ran into the same issue, when I opened Xcode I received a notifications about needing to install additional components. After installing the updates, I was able to run the Ionic project again.

Update

Actually, I was mistaken, looks like it was @Sujan12 suggest on "Error: Cannot read property ā€˜replaceā€™ of undefined" for ios-sim that actually fixed the issue for me.

in your project folder root, do cd platforms/ios/cordova && npm install ios-sim

Here I had the same error ā€œError: Cannot read property ā€˜replaceā€™ of undefinedā€ and it was solved when by opening the Android Studio and creating a new avd.

This issue is fixed in the latest version of the ā€œios-simā€ package (so now this is probably the easier solution - compared to the old one which is listed below). In order to update the ā€œios-simā€ package to the latest version run this in your terminal/cmd:

cd platforms/ios/cordova/node_modules/
sudo npm install ios-sim@latest

Those interested in automating this (@diljitvj), you could add the following hook:

/hooks/after_platform_add/010_install_sim.js

#!/usr/bin/env node

var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');
var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var root = process.argv[2];
var platform = process.env.CORDOVA_PLATFORMS;

function puts(error, stdout, stderr) {
  console.log(stdout);
}

function installCordovaIosSim() {
  exec("cd platforms/ios/cordova && npm install ios-sim", puts)
}

if (platform === 'ios') {
  installCordovaIosSim();
}

Now upon adding the iOS platform to your Ionic project, this command will automatically get executed :+1:
