JUST AN UPDATE

I am done with everything possible from my end…

reinstalled npm
reinstalled ionic
reinstalled all packages

ionic serve is working fine

recreated all security certificates

recreated provisioning profiles

still getting same error

in ionic package build ios --profile profilename

Check dependencies
Provisioning profile “” doesn’t support the Associated Domains capability.
Code signing is required for product type ‘Application’ in SDK ‘iOS 10.3’

AND THE ionic info is

**cli packages: **

** @ionic/cli-utils : 1.13.1**
** ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.13.2**

global packages:

** cordova (Cordova CLI) : 7.1.0**

I enabled the associated domain and got the success response finally… Thanks a ton to @jaydz

Apparently it’s just a matter of settings, just point to the actual folder where XCode is installed, for example:

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Cheers

Me too, my error:

(node:19049) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: xcode-select: error: tool ‘xcodebuild’ requires Xcode, but active developer directory ‘/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools’ is a command line tools instance

(node:19049) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). (rejection id: 1)

I’ve tried multiple versions of

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

but to no avail.

My issue was solved!

The problem was that I had never actually ever opened XCode! (New computer lol). It installed some components upon its first open, then I ran:

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

And it worked, yay
