Error: Cannot find module '../plugman/platforms/ios'. Deprecated code in xcodePreferences.js after upgrading to Cordova 7.0.0

[MarsupiL]

See https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-plugin-deeplinks/issues/99 The fix suggested by peterpeterparker seems to work but a more permanent solution with a plugin update would be appreciated. Thanks for the support.

@lovelyelfpop 's solution worked for me, thank you!

[mikegleasonjr]

May I suggest the title contains at least the error encountered: Error: Cannot find module '../plugman/platforms/ios'. I found driftyco/ionic-plugin-deeplinks#99 before this one, even though I search the issue here first.

[alexnu]

Hi, this fix works as a temporary solution but is it going to be fixed on npm too ?

[mikegleasonjr]

Still not fixed, this is quite a pain to edit this function every time I install dependencies

[hrangel]

Can this be merged?

[velochy]

Why has this not been merged in 2 months? Is there a good reason?

[jespertheend]

Any updates on this?

[mikegleasonjr]

Hellooooooo? there are even forks that have the fix: https://github.com/flipflopapp/cordova-universal-links-plugin

[gvsrepins]

Hy guys, any plans to update it? Or should we use the fork already?

[jespertheend]

The latest commit was on January 29th and there doesn't seem to be much activity from @nikDemyankov so I've got the feeling this repository has been abandoned.

[florgb02]

Any Plans on merging this fix?

[santiDotIO]

Any chance this will get merged soon?

[cloudmanic]

It would be amazing if this could get merged soon. Thanks!

[jespertheend]

This repository appears to be abandoned so your best option is to just use one of the forks mentioned in this thread.

I had the same issue with cordova 8.0 and was able to resolve this by reverting to cordova@6.5 --npm i cordova@6.5

[caleb87]

The code provided by lovelyelfpop throws an error when returning from a webview out of the app ("Return to App name..." in top-left) .

InvalidCharacterError: The string contains invalid characters.

Any idea how to fix?

[travisdahl]

Also curious when an official fix will be merged... Official firebase docs reference this plugin as a dependency, le sigh. https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/cordova
