Cordova-plugin-local-notifications: ios-deploy was not found.

[Alkashi]

Hi,

Plugin version: #ios10
Platform: iOS
OS version: 10.3
Device manufacturer / model: iPhone SE
Cordova version (cordova -v): 6.5.0
Cordova platform version (cordova platform ls): ios 4.3.1

Expected Behavior
Schedule a push notification

Actual Behavior
When I install the #ios10 with [_cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#ios10_], I am not able to build with cordova and get this error when I launch a cordova build ios :
_Error: ios-deploy was not found. Please download, build and install version 1.9.0 or greater from https://github.com/phonegap/ios-deploy into your path, or do 'npm install -g ios-deploy'_

When I remove the plugin and install the master version, the build works but no notification is scheduled.

Thanks for your help

EDIT : of course I tried to launch npm install -g ios-deploy but didn't work

Try installing with

cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#ios10

@rwillett it is what I did (Plugin version: #ios10)

You said:

"When I install the #ios10 with npm, I am not able to build with cordova and get this error when I launch a cordova build ios "

That indicates you installed with npm.

You need to provide a lot more information as I don't think this is anything to do with the plugin based on what you have said. The lack of ios-deploy is a Cordova issue not a local notification issue.

I have the ios-deploy only after adding the #ios10 version with [_cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#ios10_]

When I add the master version with [_cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications_] the build works correctly.

So I think the issue has a link with the #ios10 version of the plugin

(I made a misktake when I talked about npm I edit the first msg)

We have the #ios10 branch and have no issues (and have never have had) with ios-deploy when doing cordova build ios. We sometimes do 100's of these builds a day.

You have something else wrong, perhaps you've screwed something else up. Uninstall everything and start again, shouldn't take long.

Hi,

OK I finally managed to update ios-deploy with this command : npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm=true (see the this issue)
After that, I added the plugin with cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#ios10.

Everything works fine now.

The strange think is that the ios-deploy issue appeared only with the #ios10 branch.

The issue can be closed now thanks for you great work and feedbacks.

[rwillett]

Please this is solved but still don't think this is an issue with this plugin.

[Alkashi]

It's your opinion. I clearly think it is an issue. If not how to explain that a downgrade of the plugin allow to build without error.

[rwillett]

Because we didn't have the issue through any of the previous versions of this plugin and versions of xcode going back for the last 18 months. I've lost count of the number of versions of cordova, the ios platform plugin, this plugin and xcode we gave used.
