Ionic build/emulate ios does nothing

1

Here’s the stuff from my terminal:

Myuser-MBP:my-reddit myuser$ ionic platform add ios
Updated the hooks directory to have execute permissions
Adding icons for platform: ios
Platform ios already added.
Myuser-MBP:my-reddit myuser$ ionic build ios
Myuser-MBP:my-reddit myuser$ ionic emulate ios
Myuser-MBP:my-reddit myuser$

I tried reinstalling ionic/cordova and the ios deploy/sim plugins, but still the same issue:

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 5.3.1
Ionic Version: 1.1.0
Ionic CLI Version: 1.6.4
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.3.8
ios-deploy version: 1.7.0 
ios-sim version: 4.1.1 
OS: Mac OS X Yosemite
Node Version: v4.0.0
Xcode version: Xcode 6.4 Build version 6E35b

Does anyone have any idea as the root of the problem could be? Any help would be very appreciated.

Yeah this is happening to me as well.

srour@nighthawk:~/todo$ ionic build ios
srour@nighthawk:~/todo$ ionic info

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 5.3.1
Gulp version: CLI version 3.8.11
Gulp local:
Ionic Version: 1.1.0
Ionic CLI Version: 1.6.4
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.3.8
ios-deploy version: 1.7.0
ios-sim version: 4.1.1
OS: Mac OS X Yosemite
Node Version: v4.0.0
Xcode version: Xcode 6.4 Build version 6E35b

I wonder if it is because of my node version which I just upgraded to?

I had the same problem. I just downgraded from Node.js v4.0.0 back to v0.12.7 and the build/emulate commands work again.

Downgrading nodejs to v.12.7 saved my life :worried:
