Hi, I tried to update nativescript this morning, to the 3.1.1 version, and my angular app didn't run anymore, also a new project don't work with the error of missing entitlements file

I tried with the simply commands

tns create new2 --ng
cd new2
tns run ios

then It can't run with a trace like this:

/bin/mkdir -p /Users/nemesix/Sviluppo/NativeScript3/new2/platforms/ios/build/emulator/new2.app

I have this problem now as well, and I don't know how to fix it.

Why is this issue closed without any solution?

@yavin5 the issue was never closed but moved to this repository - however, we can not reproduce the issue on our side so any additional information available would be of great help.
DO you have all the prerequisites for working with nativeScript on your MAC (XCode, xcodeproj, CocoaPods y as listed here)

[ivanbuhov]

@gbonline @yavin5 I can't reproduce the issue. I tried with the following steps:

tns create new2 --ng
cd new2
tns run ios

Can you think of something that may help reproducing the issue e.g. using the latest beta of Xcode or some other tool.
I found similar issue in the Firebase plugin repo -> EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-plugin-firebase#333 but it seems that it is not the same because it requires using the Firebase plugin.

I guess that the CLI build step cleans the new2.entitlements file and the build fails later because it can't find it. I assume that it is related to this one #2753 so I am moving the issue to the nativescript-cli repo.

I have also the same error. With version 3.0.x is was ok. The dependencies I use are:

On a case sensitive file system it does not work. The project is built into a platforms/iosfolder. The entitlement file is copied to a platforms/iOSfolder.

A case for reproduction:

Apple Swift version 3.1 (swiftlang-802.0.53 clang-802.0.42)
node: v6.9.1
cocoapods: /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/cocoapods-1.2.0/lib/cocoapods.rb

I create a new project:

$ tns create iostest

then

$ cd iostest

and

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:

so the problem is still there.

I tried the workaround described in this issue, so I created the file iostest.entitlements in App/App_Resources/iOS and pasted the content as described.

I removed the ios platform, recreated it, and run the app in the emulator again.

The error is still the same.

In the platforms directory, I can see:

So, something is working the wrong way.

In another project, before the upgrade to 3.1.2, the workaround worked fine...

I think the following line is the root cause: https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-cli/blob/master/lib/services/ios-entitlements-service.ts#L25 where this.$devicePlatformsConstants.iOS resolves to iOS while it should be ios

I can confirm that the problem occurs on case sensitive file systems
