Current behavior: I updated Ionic and Cordova (see below). Now ionic cordova prepare && ionic cordova platform add android && ionic cordova platform add ios fails for some plugins on iOS, e.g.:

Discovered plugin "cordova-plugin-splashscreen" in config.xml. Adding it to the project
Installing "cordova-plugin-splashscreen" for android

Installing "cordova-plugin-splashscreen" for ios
Failed to restore plugin "cordova-plugin-splashscreen" from config.xml. You might need to try adding it again. Error: Error: Cannot find module '../cordova/platform_metadata'

Hello! Thank you for opening an issue with us!

The Ionic Framework issues list is designated for the reporting of bugs with the Ionic Framework or for requesting new features. As this seems like more of a support question I am going to close this issue.

I urge that you ask this question on our forum or on our slack channel.

Thanks for using Ionic!
