Nativescript ios - Command xcodebuild failed with exit code null


I have setup a new nativescript app by running the following:-

tns create application --ng

When I attempt to launch the application using:-

tns run ios --emulator

I get the following error:-

Unable to apply changes on device: BC7714A3-A8B0-4CEC-A7A4-D54563CF04EE. Error is: Command xcodebuild failed with exit code null.

The full error is:-

Executing after-watch hook from /XXXXXX/Desktop/Bike/hooks/after-watch/nativescript-dev-typescript.js

The application occasionally launches without an issue, but stops 95% of the time I get the error above.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Solution

  • If anybody else is having this issue you need to run:-

    tns platform remove ios; tns platform add ios
    

    in your terminal and this will fix the issue.
