        desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.DESIRED_ACCURACY_HIGH,
        distanceFilter: 5,
        stopOnTerminate: false,

        },
        headers: {
          'x-api-key': ''
        }

Expected Behavior

Should build the iOS app

Actual Behavior

Failing to build with an error xcodebuild: Command failed with exit code 65 Error: xcodebuild: Command failed with exit code 65 at ChildProcess.whenDone (/Users/ankithryali/Documents/GitHub/VendorApp/platforms/ios/cordova/node_modules/cordova-common/src/superspawn.js:136:25) at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:390:28) at maybeClose (node:internal/child_process:1064:16) at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:301:5)

Steps to Reproduce

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-background-geolocation-lt
ionic cordova platform add ios
ionic cordova build ios --verbose

Context

I was trying to use the plugin to fetch background location. But iOS build failed only if this plugin is present.

At first, pods asked me to pristine the ffi, but error persists even after doing that. I have googled the error for hours and tried almost everything including: Installing cocoapods using Brew, using gem Uninstalled and reinstalled Cocoapods, gem, ffi, ruby "gem install ffi --version 1.15.1 --user-install" - tried brew and gem, sudo and non sudo "arch -x86_64 sudo gem install ffi" "gem pristine ffi --version 1.15.3" "pod repo update" updated pod repo, reinstall pod using brew

Removed and added plugin, removed and add platform,

"cordova-background-geolocation-plugin"

Remove it.

btw, I highly recommend you migrate to Capacitor.

This worked and plugin is working seamlessly. Thank you so much. I have a question though - With the above configuration, HTTP request is being sent only once though I have received the multiple locations in onLocation listener. How can I let the plugin send http req on every heartbeat?

And, can you please tell me why you recommended me to migrate to Capacitor?

why you recommended me to migrate to Capacitor?

Cordova is old. It’s becoming a junk pile. There is little active development support on the framework and many plugins are becoming obsolete.

most experienced developers are migraating to Capacitor.
