ionic-v1

Hi,

I have installed the ionic framework following the get started guide. When I run the "ionic emualte ios " command I get the following error:

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
	CompileC build/StarterApp.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/StarterApp.build/Objects-normal/i386/CDVStatusBar.o StarterApp/Plugins/org.apache.cordova.statusbar/CDVStatusBar.m normal i386 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler

Unable to emulate app on platform ios. Please see console for more info.

What does it mean and how can I fix it ?

Thanks in advance

Do you have the ios-sim command line utility installed?

@wecleanyourdorm You can also take a look at this issue: Getting Started Guide - ionic run ios not working (and please let me know if you have solved the problem! :wink: )

Have exactly the same problem, and yes, i do have ios-sim installed…

$ ios-sim --version
1.8.2

have installed ios-deploy, and then run

MyApp$ ./platforms/ios/cordova/run --emulator

Have just manage to run ios simulator. Some hack solution but it worked :smile:

edit myApp/platforms/ios/StarterApp/Plugins/org.apache.cordova.statusbar/CDVStatusBar.h and add the following:

#ifndef UIStatusBarStyleLightContent
#define UIStatusBarStyleLightContent 1
#endif

Great, work for me too. Thanks.
