I've solved it like this

ionic cordova build ios -- --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"

The accepted answer is correct. You can also put in build.json file:

{
    "ios": {
        "release": {
            ...,
            "buildFlag": [
                "-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
            ]
        }
    }
}

either

ionic cordova build ios -- --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0" or just open

xcode -> File -> Workspace Settings

and change build system to "Legacy Build System"

In my experience the "buildFlag" is not enough, I mean I had:

"ionic cordova run ios -- --buildFlag=\"-UseModernBuildSystem=0\""

... but I was still getting the Error code 65.

To solve the issue you must open the project you find inside "yourproject/platforms/ios" in xcode and check that the signing certificate is ok. To do so just click on the project (first icon on the top-left panel) and check the "Signing" section.

For newer version of xcode, you have to have Legacy Build System. If you already have the Legacy Build System, then uncheck the automatic signing and recheck it. Don't know why but it worked for me.
