When I am trying to build the iOS version of our app on OSX (10.9), I am getting the following error. I have updated, uninstalled and reinstalled cordova with no success.

I have also looked for the error to see if anyone has come across it before with no luck. Does anyone have any idea at what could be causing the issue?

  • A silly question of mine, but it will help to have some background info, Did you already created a project using the cordova CLI commands and added the iOS platform? Also, what you get form running "which cordova"? Commented Oct 24, 2014 at 3:08
  • The project is not new, it has worked on iOS in the past. Cordova is in "/user/local/bin/cordova". I haven't removed and re-added the ios platform yet but I think that is the next step. Commented Oct 24, 2014 at 4:46
  • Yes, sometimes removing and adding the platform again solves some problems i have faced when doing updates. Commented Oct 24, 2014 at 5:28
  • What version of Cordova are you using? you could run cordova -v to test that Commented Oct 24, 2014 at 7:14

This error triggered by broken plugin.xml file for one of the plugins which you are using. Make sure that all such files are valid XML documents. Such files could be found in the plugins folder of your Cordova project root.
