FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: b'/Users/<myname>/Desktop/kivy/kivy-ios/dist/hostpython3/bin/pip3' ( kivy app )

[Gordon]

Since I got this error when building project in Xcode,

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

and then I'm trying to install the requests module with git command.

python toolchain.py pip install requests

However, I read the logs and I got this FileNotFoundError message. How can I deal with the error?

So I looked the file "/Users//Desktop/kivy/kivy-ios/dist/hostpython3/bin/pip3" and the virtual environment file "/Users//Desktop/kivy/kivy-ios//lib/python3.9/site-packages/sh.py" to see whether they are existed. And both of them are really existed! I'm so confuse with this error. So please help me out here! It is the finally step for me to run my first app soon! Thanks!

Not a lot of kivy-ios experience here, I suggest you try Discord https://discord.gg/HxGPRPHT

I have tried many ways to solve the issue in the last few days but failed. Finally, an admin in the kivy discord helps me solve the issue.

In my case, maybe I used the command `sudo toolchain.py build python kivy`. However, sudo is bad, and maybe what caused this issue.

After I clean up the build and reinstall all kivy using `toolchain.py build python kivy`, I finally solve the issue. Thank you for the help from the admin and kivy community!
