Ionic cordova prepare ios - not working (ionic4)

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

Hi all,

I am facing this error while trying to run ionic cordova prepare ios and run ios.

Error msg is as shown below.

Using "requireCordovaModule" to load non-cordova module "glob" is not supported. Instead, add this module to your dependencies and use regular "require" to load it.
CordovaError: Using "requireCordovaModule" to load non-cordova module "glob" is not supported. Instead, add this module to your dependencies and use regular "require" to load it.

Anyone face this issue before? Appreciate if there is any help.

Yes! You are running the brand new Cordova v9 :partying_face: which deprecated the requireCordovaModule (https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/pull/707). Probably you are using a plugin which uses the deprecated method. Find it, report it to the author and/or contribute a PR to fix it. Otherwise you might want to downgrade to Cordova v8 until all your used plugins are ready for Cordova v9.

Okie. I see. I actually thought the author would fix all the modules using requiredCordovaModule first before deprecating it. Thanks a lot for your reply.

The “core” team of Apache Cordova is not the author of all the plugins out there :wink:

HAHAHA. That’s true. :stuck_out_tongue::+1:

Can I downgrade to Cordova v8 in Package Function from AppFlow?
