Hmm I thought Xcode 8.2 was ok, 8.3 was not.

Did they confirm if anything had changed around the 19th? I’m not closer to fixing it at this stage …

Jump in the slack channel, it’s very useful. I got an answer in about 20 minutes instead of the 5 (so far) days I’ve been waiting to hear back from support.

Alright Rodney! Via a support ticket I found out how to _reliably_ downgrade dependencies.

```auto
"cordova-background-geolocation-lt": "^2.8.3",

```

becomes

```auto
"cordova-background-geolocation-lt": "2.8.3",

```

The caret tells ionic’s build services to download the newest version, at least 2.8.3. However I want _specifically_ 2.8.3 so the caret must be removed.

By manipulating the hell out of my dependencies that were causing the IOSurface error I was able to get a successful build. (I did switch to Ionic Pro so that could be an affecting factor as well.)
