Description of the issue

Cordova app build is failing during the cordova archive step, but was working on Friday Sep 28. No change in the build steps and the version number of all the steps are unchanged. Since this step is failing no apk or ipa files are generated

If you use RVM, please run rvm use system.
If you use chruby, please run chruby system.
error: archive not found at path ‘/Users/vagrant/git/platforms/ios/[REDACTED].xcarchive’
** EXPORT FAILED **

This is Cordova 8.0.0

Hybrid (Xamarin, Ionic, …) on macOS, includes Visual Studio for Mac, Stable channe

Which build Step causes the issue and which version of the step?

I tried the ‘previous hybrid’ stack. Its failing with a different error now for the same cordova archive [1.1.1] step. Tried the build couple of times.

Hi @fehersanyi-bitrise,
I’ve got solution after add “–buildFlag=’-UseModernBuildSystem=0’” in Cordova archive add Options to append to the cordova-cli build command section.

Note that for ionic, as per @smartorder 's link above, you need to use exactly:

-- --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
