Answer 1

I've found this issue in several occasions and some of the provided answers worked quite well till today, when no one worked.

My environment: MacOS high Sierra 10.13, ionic cli 3.18.0 and cordova 7.1.0.

My problem was that if I run ionic cordova prepare it fails saying that I need to add a platform and if a I add a platform with ionic cordova platform add ios it fails with the error specified in the answer:

Error: Source path does not exist: resources/ios/icon/icon-40@3x.png

What solved my issue was manually creating the platforms folder: mkdir platforms. After creating this folder, adding a platform worked as usual.

I hope it could help someone out there.

Answer 2

Just use: Remove platform

cordova platform remove ios

And add ios platform with old one

cordova platform add ios@4.0.0 --save

It worked for me..

@4.0.0 will select previous version automatically

Answer 3

It says that the resources directory only contained empty folders. Downloading this repo (https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic2-app-base/tree/master/resources) and replace the resources directory

Run again the "ionic cordova resources".

Answer 4

2. use ionic platform remove ios when execute successfully use ionic platform add ios

DON'T USEionic state reset

Answer 5

Running these commands solved it for me:

ionic platform rm ios

ionic resources

ionic platform add ios

Answer 6

If you are missing the icon you can run the command

ionic resources --icon

This will generate all the icons with the pixels needed to run on any device.

To simulate on the device you first need to

ionic build ios

and then

ionic simulate ios

It is also a good practice to have xcode up to date.

If you are still getting the error you can paste this line

"$(OBJROOT)/UninstalledProducts/$(PLATFORM_NAME)/include"

on Build Settings > Header Search Paths. Do not remove the similar line, just add it at the end.
