First let me state that my experience with Cordova and iOS is very limited. I have so far successfully deployed my Cordova project to the Android platform. Now I wish to deploy to iOS.
I have a MacBook Pro. It's upgraded to El Capitan. I installed XCode v. 7.2 and linked my developer account to it. I used Brew to install Node. Using npm I ran the following command:
sudo npm install -g vs-mda-remote --user=<myuser>
At this stage I expected things to work. I read a blog entry by Rick Strahl, where it seems like I do not have to install anything else.
But when I start the vs-mda-remote
vs-mda-remote --secure false
and initiate the build from Visual Studio it fails with an error:
Cannot find module '/Users/<myuser>/remote-builds/node_modules/cordova/4.3.1/node_modules/cordova'
The connection between the Macbook and Visual Studio is established, but after something like 9 retries it fails, with the above error. I checked the folder and there is nothing named cordova in the node_modules folder.
So am I missing some pre-requisites for this build to complete or what could be the issue here?
Thanks in advance.
