When I run "ionic cordova build ios" on my newly updated macos 12 (Monterey) I'm receiving this error:

Uncaught Exception:

edit nameMap like this

const nameMap = new Map([
    [21, ['Monterey', '12']],
    [20, ['Big Sur', '11']],
    [19, ['Catalina', '10.15']],
    [18, ['Mojave', '10.14']],
    [17, ['High Sierra', '10.13']],
    [16, ['Sierra', '10.12']],
    [15, ['El Capitan', '10.11']],
    [14, ['Yosemite', '10.10']],
    [13, ['Mavericks', '10.9']],
    [12, ['Mountain Lion', '10.8']],
    [11, ['Lion', '10.7']],
    [10, ['Snow Leopard', '10.6']],
    [9, ['Leopard', '10.5']],
    [8, ['Tiger', '10.4']],
    [7, ['Panther', '10.3']],
    [6, ['Jaguar', '10.2']],
    [5, ['Puma', '10.1']]
]);

This worked for me:

npm uninstall -g cordova
npm install -g cordova@10.0.0

To fix it, simply install the latest macos-release, using npm install macos-release@3.0.1 --save and MacOS 12 (Monterey) will be defined.

After digging the source code of the "macos-release" library I found that the 'Monterey' version was not present in this array and that was the cause of the problem:

const nameMap = new Map([
    [20, ['Big Sur', '11']],
    [19, ['Catalina', '10.15']],
    [18, ['Mojave', '10.14']],
    [17, ['High Sierra', '10.13']],
    [16, ['Sierra', '10.12']],
    [15, ['El Capitan', '10.11']],
    [14, ['Yosemite', '10.10']],
    [13, ['Mavericks', '10.9']],
    [12, ['Mountain Lion', '10.8']],
    [11, ['Lion', '10.7']],
    [10, ['Snow Leopard', '10.6']],
    [9, ['Leopard', '10.5']],
    [8, ['Tiger', '10.4']],
    [7, ['Panther', '10.3']],
    [6, ['Jaguar', '10.2']],
    [5, ['Puma', '10.1']]
]);

This "macos-release" library was a dependency of "cordova": "^9.0.0", so the solution that worked for me was to remove this library from my package.json file, delete "node-modules" folder an install all the dependencies again.

Another solution would be upgrading to cordova 10.0.0.
