You just need to update the cordova to fix this error: to update the cordova run below command

> ionic cordova resources

Old CLI command:

I had the same error, and after re-running ionic resources it went away.

The problem was that I had Windows-style slashes (backslashes) in the path of the icon, i.e. the error I had was this:

Error: Source path does not exist: resources\ios\icon\icon-40.png

So, converting backslashes into slashes resolved it for me.

Update: And regarding your second error, it helped me to reset the state:

ionic state reset

Make sure you have ios listed under cordovaPlatforms in your package.json before running this command. Then ionic automatically re-downloads your plugins afresh and is ready to build.

Hope that helps. Take care!

Answer 3

I've had same error only with other image:

Source path does not exist: resources/ios/icon/icon-40@2x.png

This happened after upgrading to Cordova 6.3.0 and I've solved it downgrading Cordova.

Quickfix for now:

npm uninstall -g cordova
npm install -g cordova@6.2.0

Answer 4

it's a cat and mouse problem,

1. the icon resources aren't built because the platform isn't added and
2. platform can't be added because the icon resource isn't there

ionic/cordova is pretty unstable and a nightmare to work with in CI pipeline.

this kept crashing out CI pipeline. just keep removing and adding the android/ios platform and build the resources using ionic cordova resources --force

Answer 5

It's likely that your resources haven't been run.

Run:

npm i -g cordova-ionic platform rm ios
ionic platform rm ios // You want to do this just so when you recreate you have necessary resouces
ionic cordova resources
ionic cordova build --release <ios/android>

There should be more answers with this solution, since ionic is a project based on npm and this command will install the necessary libraries.

Answer 6

Try to replace the "\" with "/" (backslash and slash) in the config.xml.

If you create the project on a Windows system and move to macOS for iOS compilation, it still has the Windows URI format.
