Cannot get demo to run for iOS

[ursus-the-bear]

I have created a totally empty Angular app using the following commands:

ng new cap-test
cd cap-test
npm i @capacitor/core
npm i -D @capacitor/cli
npx cap init
npm i @capacitor/android @capacitor/ios
npx cap add ios
npx cap sync -> got the error that index.html is missing so updated capacitor.config.ts webDir -> dist/cap-test/browser
ng build
npx cap sync

and finally

npx cap run ios

which gives me this error: xcodebuild: error: The workspace named "App" does not contain a scheme named "App". The "-list" option can be
used to find the names of the schemes in the workspace.

which makes sense as if I do a
npx cap open ios
The App.xcworkspace is opened and there are no schemes defined in that config. If I use XCode to open the App.xcodeproj file I get the schemes?

I have tried adding the scheme to the workspace but that does not work, I have tried recreating everything but no matter what I do I cannot get it to work.

I am using all the newest versions of Angular (17.3.6), XCode 15.3 and the newest capacetor version - any ideas as to how to get this to work?

I have done a npx cap doctor ios and get the success - iOS looking great!

Having the exactly same issue, the workspace is EMPTY and when i try cap run ios i get the same error with missing scheme :(

@ursus-the-bear Ok i found my missing puzzle piece :) Check this guide:

https://capacitorjs.com/docs/getting-started/environment-setup

The thing i was missing was CocoaPods. Once i have installed it everything started working like a charm :)

[ursus-the-bear]

exactly, was just about to post it here for you. the command for this problem, in case somebody does not want to read the manual: sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

Alternatively, install with homebrew since that's also a dependency:

brew install cocoapods
