Ionic emulate fails with *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException',

Hi Guys,

I’m using ionic 2 and built app with very limited plugins – (in fact, I have removed many to drill down the issue but I still could not figure out ). I’m stuck with the following error for more than 3 days surfing all kinds of solutions and resolutions.

I have not made any changes in ios codebase. My android version is perfectly fine…

Issue when emulated via XCode

Console Logs on Xcode.
