iOS 'No target specified for emulator' after Cordova 4.3.0 Update

[Ben Wilson]

Hello,

After updating from Cordova 4.2.0 to Cordova 4.3.0 I've found that the command:

cordova run ios

...always deploys to the emulator.

I can deploy to the test iPhone from Xcode no problem. The message is:

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **

No target specified for emulator. Deploying to iPhone-6 simulator

If I revert to Cordova 4.2.0 then it works fine. According to http://cordova.apache.org/ there's been some changes to ios-deploy so I was careful to update to ios-deploy 1.4.0.

Could do with some insight as its a pain to have to use Xcode in this way.

Thanks,

Ben.

What happens if you:

cordova run ios --device

Same thing?

[Ben Wilson]

Wow thanks Kerry - that did the trick!

Feel pretty silly now after hours of fiddling. Clearly something has changed between 4.2.0 and 4.3.0. I guess you have to explicitly tell the cli rather than have it figure it out.

Thanks again

Ben.

tried that and it is still not working for me? Do I need to update the project to a newer format?

Hi Aaron,

Here's what I did to update my project after getting the latest cordova and ionic installed:

cd [my projects directory]

cordova platform update ios

cordova platform update android

ionic lib update

(for ionic lib update I think you need bower installed: sudo npm install -g bower)

Then make sure ios-deploy at 1.4.0:

sudo npm install -g ios-deploy

It could also be due to your code signing setup on your project. In order to deploy to a device, even for development, you'll need to have configured a provisioning profile with a valid signing identity. I find the easiest way to configure this is to just go into Xcode and select them under Build Settings of your Target.

Sorry about this. This behavior changed during the port of scripts to
node.js. We are actively discussing what needs to be done here:
