Hi everyone. If anyone is still struggling with this issue please follow the steps listed here:
http://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2016/03/02/ios-4.1.0.html
The steps are as follows:
npm install -g cordova cd my_project cordova platform rm ios cordova platform add ios@4.1.0
This fixed the issue for me. Also this issue completely destroyed my development time for the last 2 weeks because I thought there was something wrong with my code the entire time. Probably the worst bug I’ve encountered in my life.
