bug: macOS 12 monterey is not supported

[erisu]

macos-release version 2.5.0 is required.

We do not pin exact direct dependent packages and some of these sub packages are not pinned too. Just reinstall Cordova CLI so it will fetch [email protected]

npm uninstall -g cordova
npm install -g cordova

$ npm ls macos-release

This is happening again with Ventura ... we need a future proof fix

Probably just get rid of insight package. We use it to display the "consumer" name of the Mac version instead of the Darwin version.

But unfortunately the underlying package can't see in the future nor do they gracefully handle unknown Darwin versions. Instead we can just use the NodeJS APIs (OS.platform() / OS.release() / OS.version()). Platform will provide darwin on macs, and either release() or version() will provide the version. OS.version() might be pretty much a direct replacement since it returns "Windows 10 Pro" rather than the actual OS version. (release() appears to return the actual version, e.g: 10.0.19045

Someone with a mac can confirm, but this is probably a better path forward and we get to manage one less dependency.

I forked and updated the required libs to make it work. I can send a PR if it's allowed.
The issue is with "os-name" lib. It should be updated to "^5.0.0".

I updated the libs related below, but it didn't update the lib we want, so I added as dependency into main package.json and it worked.

Here's the solution for unblocking you:

1. Clone the cli project2
2. Update those libs:

• "cordova-lib": "^10.1.0",
• "insight": "^0.11.1",
• "systeminformation": "^5.9.9",
• "os-name": "^5.0.0",

3. run npm link cordova

Before re-install:

└─┬ [email protected]
  └─┬ [email protected]
    └── [email protected] 

> cordova build ios
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/macos-release/index.js:27
const [name, version] = nameMap.get(release);

TypeError: undefined is not iterable (cannot read property Symbol(Symbol.iterator))

After re-install:

[email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova
└─┬ [email protected]
  └─┬ [email protected]
    └── [email protected] 

This problem was solved by reinstalling.
However, if you upgrade macOS 12 with it already cordova 10 installed,
I suspect others will have the same problem.
Because, it's been over a year since the cordova 10.0.0 version was released.

    },

I know that dependencies are pinned to insight 0.10.3.
If you update the insight dependency to version 0.11.1,
I think there should be no problem.

For posterity, here's the issue from the dependency repository.

Yeah looks like the insight package is basically throwing in the towel on this issue, and the creator removed it from his own product: yeoman/insight#83. So that is likely the best path forward for cordova as well.
