Error: spawn EACCES when adding Cordova plugin

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Im trying to install cordova-spotify. I had it working a couple days ago. I uninstalled it then tried to reinstall it and I’ve been getting this error ever since. All my other plugins work.

I run this command ionic cordova plugin add cordova-spotify and I get this error:

        Installing "cordova-spotify" for ios
        Plugin dependency "es6-promise-plugin@4.1.0" already fetched, using that version.
        Dependent plugin "es6-promise-plugin" already installed on ios.

Here are some of the versions I’m using:

"@ionic/app-scripts": "1.3.8",
"@ionic/cli-plugin-cordova": "1.4.0",
"@ionic/cli-plugin-ionic-angular": "1.3.1",

I’m on a Mac if that means anything.

Thanks!

What is your ionic info output?
What do you get when you run cordova plugin add cordova-spotify --debug?

Here is my info output:

global packages:

    @ionic/cli-utils : 1.4.0
    Ionic CLI        : 3.4.0

System:

    Node       : v8.1.2
    OS         : macOS Sierra
    Xcode      : Xcode 8.3.3 Build version 8E3004b
    ios-deploy : not installed
    ios-sim    : not installed
    npm        : 5.0.4

Adding the debug flat gives me the same output

cordova plugin add cordova-spotify --debug
