Cordova Error: Your ios platform does not have Api.js

I'm trying to build a cordova ios app but not having much luck and getting strange errors.

Using this version of Cordova with older version of cordova-ios is deprecated. Upgrade to cordova-ios@4.0.0 or newer.

Error: Your ios platform does not have Api.js

The first warning says my cordov-ios version is old, which is strange as this is my output:

$ cordova --version
7.0.1



$ cordova platform version ios

Installed platforms:
  ios 4.4.0
Available platforms: 
  android ~6.2.2
  blackberry10 ~3.8.0 (deprecated)
  browser ~4.1.0
  osx ~4.0.1
  webos ~3.7.0

So I clearly have the latest versions necessary.

And then the Api.js error. What is causing this?

Error: Your ios platform does not have Api.js

Any ideas?

This problem can also occur when you have both the Android and iOS installed. At least this was the case for me.

When I ran the command:

cordova platform rm android

It started to work

For those of you that have tried updating your NodeJs and that didn't work.

Go check in your platforms/android or platforms/ios folder. Mine was empty. Delete the folder, and run ionic cordova add android/ios again.

Downgraded to cordova 8 and it's working.

I always fix this error removing the platform and adding it again (android in my case)

phonegap platform rm android

wait until it finishes...

phonegap platform add android

And that´s it. Let me know if it is fixed for you.
