I am porting an phone app project into VS2017 and get the below error when I try to build for a Remote Device. This code has built correctly on VS2015 and runs fine in an Android simulator. Just get this error on and IOS remote device, which I need to run to create an .ipa file. I see a bunch of posts on an error 65, but none on error 72 that I can find. Can you help me on how to fix this? Thanks.

I fixed this by going back to XCode version 8.2.1

This happens if you use ionic build ios --device … it’s the device flag that needs the packageApplication, but which is not available in 8.3

I got around the problem without downgrading XCode, as follows:

  • Load your project into XCode 8.3 by clicking your .xcodeproj file (in platforms/ios/build) and choose Product > Archive.
  • Select the archive in the next screen and click ‘Export’ button. Choose ‘Save for Ad Hoc
  • Deployment’ and you’ll get an .IPA file, just as if you had used ionic build ios --device.
