Ionic Error: Apple Mach-O Linker Error

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
#1

I have the same problem as Ionic Error: Apple Mach-O Linker Error - Have tried so much already.

Also tried to remove and re-adding the iOS platform in our project. Even when I create a new blank Ionic project (with the same app id) I get the same error. This is my ionic info log:

cli packages: (/Users/niels/.config/yarn/global/node_modules)

    @ionic/cli-utils  : 1.9.2
    ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.9.2

global packages:

    Cordova CLI : 7.0.1 

local packages:

    @ionic/app-scripts : 2.1.4
    Cordova Platforms  : ios 4.5.0
    Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.6.1

System:

    Node  : v6.11.2
    npm   : 2.15.12 
    OS    : macOS Sierra
    Xcode : Xcode 8.3.3 Build version 8E3004b

Any idea?

Is there anything I can do to see more logs?

And @robertlair, I just installed my new MacBook last week, so I doubt if that will fix my problem. I just installed Visual Studio Code, Xcode, Angular, Ionic and Cordova, that’s about it. But good to hear that you are back in business and thanks for your suggestion :smiley:

Ahhh, I know what it is!

You are running cordova-ios 4.5.0 - did you remove the console plugin? If not, do so and try again.

#4

This is what I did:

> ionic cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-console

cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-console --save
âś– Running command - failed!
[ERROR] An error occurred while running cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-console --save (exit code 1):

Error: Plugin "cordova-plugin-console" is not present in the project. See `cordova plugin list`.

Wierd, the cordova-plugin-console is present in the package.json and the config.xml, but ok. Lets try to add it first, so I did:

> ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-console

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-console --save
âś” Running command - done!
Adding cordova-plugin-console to package.json
Saved plugin info for "cordova-plugin-console" to config.xml

Then I tried to remove it:

> ionic cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-console

cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-console --save
âś” Running command - done!
Removing "cordova-plugin-console"
Removing plugin cordova-plugin-console from config.xml file...
Removing cordova-plugin-console from package.json

Ok, that worked, no build it.

:smiley: That worked! :+1: Thanks for your help @Sujan12!

But now the plugin is also removed for Android, can that cause any problems for my Android app? Are you sure I don’t need the cordova-plugin-console plugin? And what is the difference with the iOS engine 4.4 and 4.5?

You should revert back to 4.4.0 and wait till they fix 4.5.0 using the following commands:

npm uninstall cordova-ios

npm install cordova-ios@4.4.0

ionic cordova platform add ios@4.4.0

ionic cordova build ios

That works and sounds like the safest option for now.

#7

There will be no fix for cordova-ios as there is no bug. Cordova deliberately integrated the console plugin (and kinda decided in an “interesting” way for the upgrade path… but well, it is how it is)

See here: Cordova-ios 4.5.0 was released! and the linked blog post in there.

But staying with cordova-ios 4.4.0 still is a valid choice for now.

Not for iOS anyway.

See the linked blog post above.
