VoltBuilder iOS: File not found error

VoltBuilder

Hi, I’m having problems building my first iOS debug app using VoltBuilder, same configuration works for Android without any issues.

Build fails with error: UserError: File not found: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "url" argument must be of type string. Received undefined. The log shows after

This could be caused by a problem with a plugin.
reset_keychain

I use no additional plugins and a default VoltBuilder config.xml, just made the suggested changes to use Cordova11.

Could anyone give me a hint on where to check what’s causing the issue?

Thanks

I see from the log that your last run did not have this problem. What did you change?

Actually I wasn’t able to successfully build the iOS app yet, maybe you’ve seen the log from the Android build which I did in between to check if it works.
-13:11 local time - Android build
-13:44 - iOS build

Just did another run with the same error showing up

The problem is this line:

<access allow="https://xxxx.com" />

Checking the docs, the correct syntax is

<access origin="https://xxxx.com" />

Indeed, that fixed the problem, many thanks!
I’m still wondering how/why I messed that up… :thinking:
Could you give a hint on how I could have tracked the problem by myself down, are the any additional logs I could have looked at?

There was a message in the log as follows:

The "url" argument must be of type string. Received undefined
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "url" argument must be of type string. Received undefined

I then looked for URL strings in your config.xml.
