Why is this closed? It sounds like a pretty major bug to not be able to install the plugin normally.
Why would the solution be to repair anything or reinstall the platform and plugins?

Had to:
1- pod repo update
2- remove the plugin
3- manually delete the folder containing the AppCenterShared.m file that it complains already exists!. platforms/ios/APP_NAME/Plugins/cordova-plugin-appcenter-shared
4- install the plugin again

This issue was closed way too fast with way too little information provided. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/sdk/troubleshooting/cordova#failed-to-install-plugin---pod-command-failed-with-exit-code-1

Is not really much clearer and is not even mentioning this issue directly.

This looks like a duplicate of https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter-sdk-cordova/issues/83

Resolved by deleting my entire src-cordova and starting again 🤷‍♂️

I just run into this bug too with my ionic project after updating to MacOS Catalina.
I was able to solve the issue following these steps:

Install/Update/Start Xcode and install/agree the open pending changes/license
Install/Update Cocoapods: $ sudo gem install cocoapods
Remove and recreate dependencies and generated files: $ ionic repair
(Optional) Delete the folders platforms and plugin and start the build process with ionic cordova build ios

Same frustrating error for me. Ticket is closed...but not solved. So...how can we update our AppCenter plugins?

Same for me. I use CI/CD and it is failing every time it tries to add the platform although it just adds the plugins for the first time. I use the crashes and the analytics plugin.

What worked for me was adding packages [email protected] and cordova-common. The latter is to avoid another potential issue related to modules not found.
I also use CI/CD pipelines and that worked for it as well.
