VS 2015 Tools for Apache Cordova - iOS Remote Build not using buildServer

I'm trying to get iOS remotebuild working for my Tools for Apache Cordova project. From what I can tell it's still trying to build using my local windows machine.

I get these errors:

Warning Applications for platform ios can not be built on this OS - win32. [AppName] C:\dev[AppName]\MDAVSCLI 1

Error C:\Users\James.cordova\lib\npm_cache\cordova-ios\3.7.0\package\bin\create: Command failed with exit code ENOENT [AppName] C:\dev[AppName]\MDAVSCLI 1

The output windows shows: buildServerUrl: https://192.168.1.77:3000/cordova buildTarget: iOSEmulatoriPhone5

and it successfully connects to the remotebuild server when I set up the RemoteAgentConfiguration in Options. I see the GET request in the mac terminal for that, but nothing when I run the build (tried both the simulator and the remote device option).

I'm running vs2015 and ran the latest updates for Tools for Apache Cordova.

What version of Cordova are you targeting? - Michael Braude
Was on 4.2.0, I'll update to the latest and give it a shot. - James Hollister
Yep that's the problem. Even upgrading to 4.3 should fix it. - Michael Braude
That did it, feel free to add it as an answer so I can mark it correct. Thank you! - James Hollister
How could i find the current installed version ? - Mohanvel V

The problem was that you are targeting an older version of Cordova. Remote build requires a later version of the iOS platform that's pinned to 4.2. The earliest version that remote build supports is 4.3.
