janpio opened a new issue #525: check_reqs (`cordova requirements`) treats Xcode different than pod or ios-deploy
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/525
 
 
   # Bug Report
   
   ## Problem
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   
   `cordova requirements` should treat all the software it checks for equally and show similar error message for similar problems.
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   
   ```
   λ cordova requirements
   
   Requirements check results for ios:
   Apple macOS: installed darwin
   Xcode: not installed
   
   ios-deploy: not installed
   Cordova needs ios-deploy version 1.9.2 or greater, you have version . Please download, build and install version 1.9.2 or greater from https://github.com/phonegap/ios-deploy into your path, or do 'npm install -g ios-deploy'
   CocoaPods: installed 1.0.1
   Some of requirements check failed
   ```
   
   As you can see Xcode/`xcodebuild` only gets a "not installed", while `ios-deploy` also shows a nice error message: "Cordova needs ios-deploy version 1.9.2 or greater, you have version . Please download, build and install version 1.9.2 or greater from https://github.com/phonegap/ios-deploy into your path, or do 'npm install -g ios-deploy'"
   
   When you have a (faked) Xcode installed, the "needs version" error message is correctly displayed:
   ```
   ...
   Xcode: not installed
   Cordova needs xcodebuild version 7.0.0 or greater, you have version 1. Please install version 7.0.0 or greater from App Store
   ...
   ```
