Cordova Error: Your ios platform does not have Api.js

I'm trying to build a cordova ios app but not having much luck and getting strange errors.

Using this version of Cordova with older version of cordova-ios is deprecated. Upgrade to [email protected] or newer.

Error: Your ios platform does not have Api.js

The first warning says my cordov-ios version is old, which is strange as this is my output:

$ cordova --version
7.0.1



$ cordova platform version ios

Installed platforms:
  ios 4.4.0
Available platforms: 
  android ~6.2.2
  blackberry10 ~3.8.0 (deprecated)
  browser ~4.1.0
  osx ~4.0.1
  webos ~3.7.0

So I clearly have the latest versions necessary.

And then the Api.js error. What is causing this?

Error: Your ios platform does not have Api.js

Any ideas?

I was having exactly this problem but managed to solve it by simply removing and then adding the IOS platform within my project:

cordova platform rm ios
cordova platform add ios

This seemed to fix whatever had somehow got broken when updating Cordova...
