   I think apache/cordova-ios#647 came about because the OP had old version of Ionic CLI installed. Recent version of Ionic CLI seems to install cordova-ios@5, as required at this time (see <https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/647#issuecomment-511537590>).
   
   > Cordova CLI explicitly is built in a way that uses platform versions that are compatible at the time of release (+ some semver wiggle room). Suggesting users to install `@latest` contradicts that, doesn't it?
   
   Agreed. I just rewrote most of the title and part of the description to try to avoid this contradiction.
   
   From the updated description:
   
   > In order to avoid supporting issues like these, I think we need to somehow make it extra clear that Cordova users need to use recent platform versions.
   
   As an example:
   
   > ```
   > cordova platform add ios@5
   > ```
   
   Any other thoughts or ideas?
