Ionic iOS build failing with Xcode 10
Posted on Mon, 22 Oct 2018, 20:56

Ionic iOS build suddenly stop working from the command line? Using Xcode 10? Quick solution here!

Problem

Suddenly my iOS builds had stopped working, just crapping out before a build was created. No obvious error messages. Turns out, the default build system has changed in Xcode 10 and now needs to be reverted with a flag to make everything happy again.

Solution

Add a file called "build.json" to your project root (same level as package.json), with the following contents:

{
    "ios": {
      "debug": {
        "buildFlag": [
          "-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
        ]
      },
      "release": {
        "buildFlag": [
          "-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
        ]
      }
    }
  }

Then when you do the build from the command line, everything will be ok again for iOS.
