Ionic Package breaks in cloud

Hi guys,
It seems that the build package is no longer working. It breaks when you install a plugin from a repository. As an example, if you add the wkwebview and try to build, it will break. See error below from the cloud.
I can also replicate this error when building locally. I used to get around this by running “cordova plugin add url” instead of “ionic cordova plugin add ur”. Refer to this thread: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues/2716

IOS project Code Sign Entitlements now set to: Qeenatha Music/Resources/Qeenatha Music.entitlements
Entitlements file is not in references section, adding it
Discovered plugin “cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine” in config.xml. Adding it to the project
Fetching plugin “git+https://github.com/ionic-team/cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine.git” via git clone
Failed to restore plugin “cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine” from config.xml. You might need to try adding it again. Error: Failed to fetch plugin git+https://github.com/ionic-team/cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine.git via git.
Either there is a connection problems, or plugin spec is incorrect:

Hi @neoassyrian did you find a solution to this? I think I’m having a similar issue with another plugin.

Seems like ionic package build is not able to find plugins that reference a git-url…

My error looks like this with the similar “fatal: Unable to find remote helper for ‘git+https’”:

Discovered plugin "cordova-background-geolocation" in config.xml. Adding it to the project

Hi,
Not yet. It is still not working for me. I also submitted a bug on GitHub but with no reply yet. One of the Ionic guys where having a look at it, and never got back with the solution.
Check this one: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues/2716
