NSInvalidArgumentException on iOS

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

As briefly as possible:

I can test our app on Android devices without an issue from my main development box using

cordova run android

with a device attached to the machine.

I have set up an iMac to do iOS builds, and I have a git server in-house where we are doing version control. The repo is cloned locally on the mac for iOS builds, and the build is successful, but I get an NSInvalidArgumentException when running the application. Details below:

Ionic Info (from iMac):

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Like I said, the app runs fine in Android development scenarios, but iOS builds are still a problem

Same issue here. ‘*** -[NSRegularExpression enumerateMatchesInString:options:range:usingBlock:]: nil argument’

I was ultimately able to get this to work by uninstalling and reinstalling the platform on my iMac, so:

ionic cordova platform rm ios
ionic cordova platform add ios
4

I have this exact issue. Are you using Ionic Deploy in the new Ionic Pro? I have added and removed my ios platform several times. Can you let me know what version of ios platform you have added?

I’m having the exact problem, using Ionic Deploy… if I choose to disable live update when running the app on ios for the first time the app seems to work fine, but I have to get the app working with the live update feature !

Note even with an empty starter app this happens. The problem is in IonicDeploy.m. If anyone finds a fix please post!

BTW to anyone following this - deploy works fine on android devices - just fails on ios.

for me it stuck on android too, didn’t debug to see what it is actually that causing it to stuck
