Generate the iOS package with the latest PWABuilder CLI fails.

[MEPTRuiBras]

Generate the iOS package with the latest PWABuilder CLI fails with "Invalid or unexpected token" when using the latest Apache Cordova CLI v9 (or v8.1.2) on Node.js v14.2.

The Android package was successfully created, no questions about the W3C manifest.

The data that I can share with you (client IP restrictions) are the following:

MS Windows 10 Pro v1909 b18363.836 (x64,enUS) Node.js v14.2.0 PWABuilder CLI v2.0.3-rc.1 (or v2.0.3-rc.0 or v2.0.1-rc.2) Apache Cordova CLI (cordova) v9.0.0 (or v8.1.2) Apache Cordova Lib (cordova-lib) v9.0.1 (or v8.1.1) Apache Cordova iOS (cordova-iOS) v4.5.5

We don't currently support iOS project types; this functionality has been deprecated while we talk with Apple their new policy which seems to prohibit PWAs in the iOS App Store.
