Describe the bug

When trying tns run ios --device="device_Id_here" --hmr I get the following error:

Building project...
Xcode build...
2020-01-26 21:47:40.730 xcodebuild[16347:64933]  DTDeviceKit: deviceType from {{uuid}} was NULL
2020-01-26 21:47:41.956 xcodebuild[16347:64853] [MT] DTDeviceKit: deviceType from {{uuid}} was NULL

To Reproduce

tns run ios --device="device_Id_here" --hmr or tns build ios --for-device

Expected behavior App successfully build and deployed to my device

Sample project Sadly I can’t provide you with a sample project but happy to provide any logs necessary.

Additional context Hello everyone, before anything thanks for taking the time to try to help me with my issue. This error starting to happen a few nights ago. I have seen it before but usually unplugging and plugin my phone back fixed it. Now I can’t get past it and I am stuck!

Note: When I build the app with XCode it successfully builds but not when using the commands mentioned above.

Please help 🙏🏽 Thanks!

Thanks for the reply @DimitarTachev .

The problem is that it doesn’t ALWAYS happen. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it doesn’t. I would to generated with an empty angular app this weekend and I would let you know.

Thanks again

Thanks for the additional details but there’s nothing strange with these logs.

Could you clarify if your output stays forever on the last line of these logs or it keeps printing such CompileC messages?

If it stays forever on the last line of these logs, we will need the state of your local processes (ps -ef) in order to investigate it further. If it keeps printing CompileC logs, I suggest you wait a few hours (maybe the project is really huge or the machine is really slow) and if it’s still printing these logs, we will need a sample project reproducing this behavior.

We’ve also noticed that you are executing the command in a fish shell. It is almost impossible to be caused by the shell but you cloud also try building the app in bash.
