iOS Build Failed: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘/platforms/ios/{myAppName}.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj.

Please describe the issue:

Build Fails.

I have since un-commented platform name=“ios” as below.

<platforms>
  <!-- <platform name="android" /> -->
  <platform name="ios" />
</platforms>

And now get a difference error:

[!] Your project does not explicitly specify the CocoaPods master specs repo. Since CDN is now used as the default, you may safely remove it from your repos directory via pod repo remove master. To suppress this warning please add warn_for_unused_master_specs_repo => false to your Podfile.

I have since tried: Build ID: 0257d62b-7961-40bf-8b82-c6e9fa6eec7a

<engine name="ios" spec="7.1.1" />
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-firebasex" spec="^18.0.6">

But that gives this error:

 [!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "FirebaseInAppMessaging": In Podfile: Firebase InAppMessaging (= 11.8.0-beta)```
