gulp-cordova-build-ios's Issues

Cordova-lib 6.3.0 breaks gulp-cordova-build-ios

Please update your dependencies to use [email protected].

Your module is currently broken without this.

Refactor like the android and bb10 library

This library should be refactored like the gulp-cordova-build-android and gulp-cordova-build-bb10 libraries.

Is it possible to generate an IPA file?

Empty output

I am using the Android and iOS version of this plugin. The Android version works perfectly, though the iOS version is not giving me any output. This is my gulpfile:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var android = require('gulp-cordova-build-android');
var create = require('gulp-cordova-create');
var del = require('del');
var ios = require('gulp-cordova-build-ios');
var plugin = require('gulp-cordova-plugin');
var shell = require('gulp-shell');

gulp.task('default', function() {});

gulp.task('clean.cordova', function() {
  return del(['.cordova']);
});

gulp.task('build.cordova', shell.task('ng build -prod --base-href "./"'));

gulp.task('build.cordova.android', ['clean.cordova', 'build.cordova'], function() {
  return gulp.src('dist')
    .pipe(create({ id: 'com.some.something', name: 'My App Name' }))
    .pipe(android())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/android'));
});

gulp.task('build.cordova.ios', ['clean.cordova', 'build.cordova'], function() {
  return gulp.src('dist')
    .pipe(create({ id: 'com.some.something', name: 'My App Name' }))
    .pipe(ios())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/ios'));
});

Is there any reason why I don't receive any output at all?

Errors are not shown and gulp task is silently stopped

I have a strongly modified .cordova/platform/ios with a test project and multiple Info.plist in the configuration so behind the scene plugman cant find the right .plist file (solved by reordering the xcode project file).

I have a simple grunt tasks

...
function buildIosTask() {
    return gulp.src('.cordova')
        .pipe(ios())
        .pipe(gulp.dest(buildDest));
}
...
gulp.task('build-ios', [], buildIosTask);

I do:

$ gulp build-ios
[10:23:26] Starting 'build-ios'

Expected:

A print out with the error (pardon me if my gulp is setup wrongly)

When I look into gulp-cordova-build-ios/index.js and place a debugger err has the value:

{ stack: undefined,
name: 'CordovaError',
message: 'could not find -Info.plist file, or config.xml file.' }

Not working with cordova-ios 4.2.1

Not working well with cordova ios 4.2.1 platform.
It seems like the relative paths or something is messed up...falling back to default version cordova ios version (which is ended up using cordova-ios 4.1.1).

Expose code signing options of `cordova build`

cordova build supports a couple of iOS-specific arguments, which are really needed for building releases on iOS.

See https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/ios/#signing-an-app

Based on PR #14 this would do that: Collaborne@dd8940c

Version 2.0.0 seems to ignore the name config.xml value

When I used 2.0.0 the output platforms/ios directory doesn't pick up the app name, and I get a HelloCordova app. Reverting back to 1.1.0 resolves the issue.

Allow defining the platform version

Currently the plugin always uses cordova platform add ios, it would be great if one could define an optional version to trigger an invocation like this: cordova platform add ios@VERSION.

bump version

Add the option to make a release iOS build

Hello there, me again.

As the gulp-cordova-build-android plugin does, I think we should add the possibility to make a release build when compiling an iOS app.

A very trivial implementation would be adding an option object instead of a single boolean to the ios() function, like this :

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    ios = require('gulp-cordova-build-ios');

gulp.task('rebuild', function() {
    return gulp.src('.cordova')
        .pipe(ios({
                rebasePlatform: true,
                release: true
        }));
});

And handling it like this in the index.js file :

module.exports = function(rm) {
     //.... Options values check and default settings
     var options = options.release ? ['--release'] : [];
     //.... Begin of the promise
     .then(function() {
            // Build the platform
            return cordova.build({platforms: ['ios'], options: options});
     })//... Rest of the promise

Releasing an iOS app means also having the developer certificate and provisoning store configured in XCode. We may (or not) leave this part to the developer's responsability.

Tell me what you think of this idea, and thank you !
