IONIC Package Failed to install ‘onesignal-cordova-plugin’: Error: pod: Command failed with exit code 31 - ionic-framework

Question

I’m trying to use ionic pro packaging (https://ionicframework.com/pro/package). When building to android everything works fine. But building to IOS gives me this error:

I’ve installed cocoa pods but that didn’t help.
A lot of threads tells me to do this: “Run pod repo update first. I had the same issue and it helped.” but that is only possible on OS X i think?
I have spent almost a day on this thing now. As usual the ionic documentation only says something like “Click the build button and it’s all done”. https://ionicframework.com/docs/pro/package/

Answer 1

I solved it by doing this steps: Package native binaries Failed to install 'onesignal-cordova-plugin' then i still got the same error and noticed it said version "^2.1.0" instead of just "2.1.0" on the onesignal-cordova-plugin error line. So i found that it still had the "^" in the version number in both the config.xml and the package.json file. When i removed both it worked!
