Got 'GC capability mismatch' error when running ionic emulate ios

ionic-v1

I followed the steps appear in “Getting Started” guide, and when running

$ ionic emulate ios

I get the following error:

I have Xcode 4.6.3 installed and can’t upgrade to Xcode 5 since I have old macbook and can’t upgrade OS to 10.8 and above.

Seems like a issue related to your version of Xcode.
What version of cordova do you have installed just wonder?

$ cordova -v

I also suspect it’s the Xcode version, unfortunately I can’t upgrade to newer version as I mentioned, due to old hardware.

cordova version is 3.4.0-0.1.3

How about just trying to run from within Xcode itself? I personally don’t use ionic emulate ios. I just prefer to start and stop the apps in Xcode.

I’m new to Ionic so not sure how to do it… I simply followed the getting started guide. Is this approach documented somewhere ?

In your app directory, you’ll “platforms”, then “ios”. Inside “ios”, you’ll see something like “HelloCordova.xcodeproj” . Double click that. I will open Xcode. In the top left of the screen is a big “Play” button. Next to it is some text. Click that text to choose what device to simulate. If your device is plugged in, you can also run on a device. After you’ve selected a device/simulator, click the Play button.
