Ionic emulate ios - [__NSArrayM localizedDescription]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fe43ad07d90

I upgraded my ionic framework in my MacBook using “npm update -g ionic” last night around 10:30pm, I build my app successfully using “ionic build ios”.

However when I try to launch the iOS emulator with “ionic emulate ios” it did not work, it build successfully but it was not able to launch the iOS emulator

Same issue here, this is the first time Im using Ionic, all I did:

$ npm install -g cordova ionic
$ ionic start myApp blank
$ cd myApp
$ ionic platform add ios
$ ionic build ios
$ ionic emulate ios

Same error :frowning:

I just got the same error. Here is what I ran.

$ sudo npm update -g ionic
$ ionic start myApp tabs
$ cd myApp
$ ionic platform add ios
$ ionic build ios
$ ionic emulate ios

I have been able to use ionic in the past (about a month ago) I think a new version of xcode is the problem. My xcode version is Version 6.0.1 (6A317)

thanks,

Jesse

I found the solution guys, read my answer here: Ionic emulate ios throws an error
