Show stopper by ios "NSUnknownKeyException"

Hi everybody,

This time I really hit a road block. This time, I’m stopped by an Xcode error which I do now know how to deal with.
Quick background:
my app works as expected when I do

ionic serve --lab

That is to say that I can see both the android nd the ios counterparts work perfectly fine.

my app also works as expected when I do

ionic build android

and

ionic emulate android

My app also works when I run it actually on device that is my android phone.
So there are no issues as far as android side is concerned.
The problem is my app does NOT work when it comes to ios.

For example, ionic emulate ios gives me a white screen with an ionic logo in the center and after staying less than a sec, it terminates itself.

To see some error messages what causes this, I run it thru Xcode. Same thing happened. We also put it actually on an iPhone. No luck… it just gets either stuck on the screen or terminates itself.

The error message Xcode generates is as follows - which I have no idea how to deal with as it is Objective C or Swift code with no indication to me as to what part of JS / HTML code is causing this.
It bombs at this line:

int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, @“AppDelegate”);
this line is in the main.m.
full main.m is as follows
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

@autoreleasepool {

    int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, @"AppDelegate");

    return retVal;

}

}

That line causes this error:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception ‘NSUnknownKeyException’, reason: '[<UIApplication 0x7fcec3601fd0> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key view.'​

The full console message is as follows;

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException​

Any idea what could be causing this?

Try removing the platform ios and adding it back again.
Did you have any interesting plugins in this project?
Did you change any ios code manually?

This must be old thread but I ran to same issue today any luck? removing and adding platform ios did not fix the issue for me, I also removed & added all plugins, at wits end…
