jpgilchrist opened a new issue #394: cordova build ios fails with linker issues (works pefectly in Xcode UI)
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/394
 
 
   I have been debugging and investigating this issue for almost three days. I am at my wits end and hopefully I have enough information now so you can give me an appropriate answer or we can identify an actual. 
   
   First and foremost, I started with SO to do a bunch of research before I came here and posted my own question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51772407/cordova-cant-build-from-cli-but-build-from-xcode-xcworkspace-works-perfectly 
   
   Here's what I'm finding:
   
   `cordova build ios` fails with the following
   
   ```
   /Users/jpgilchrist/Development/github/soschat/soschat-mobile-3.0/VeociSTAGE/platforms/ios/Pods/FirebaseCore/Firebase/Core/FIRNetwork.m:23:9: fatal error: 
         'GoogleToolboxForMac/GTMNSData+zlib.h' file not found
   #import <GoogleToolboxForMac/GTMNSData+zlib.h>
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   ```
   
   ```
   ** BUILD FAILED **
   
   
   The following build commands failed:
   	CompileC /Users/jpgilchrist/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/VeociSTAGE-awzedsneagcsyzbvjuozwzgwilon/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/FirebaseCore.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/FIRNetwork.o FirebaseCore/Firebase/Core/FIRNetwork.m normal x86_64 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler
   ```
   
   However, if you actually open the .xcworkspace and then build/run from Xcode it works perfectly! This got me to thinking and a started down a deep rabbit hole. Eventually I tried `xcodebuild -workspace VeociSTAGE.xcworkspace -scheme VeociSTAGE` and it worked there as well!
   
   This started me down a very deep rabbit hole learning way more about the innards of the cordova build process then I really needed to know (but, hey knowledge is knowledge and I'm happy I know it now). 
   
   I found `platforms/ios/cordova/Api.js` and eventually the `xcodebuildArgs` and I deduced that a custom xcconfig is being used and I have no idea what in the xcconfig is causing it, but running it with the xcconfig causes my issues. Without it builds.
