Check if your project links libCordova.a (in my case Xcode forgot about the reference, when moving CordovaLib.xcodeproj to another location).

  • select your project in the Project Navigator
  • go to the Summary tab
  • drag CordovaLib.xcodeproj > Products > libCordova.a to Linked Frameworks and Libraries

Clean & build.
