Answer 1

Cordova is trying to use PackageApplication tool. But it was removed since Xcode 8.3. ( Thanks @guyromb for this )

For those who are coming from an error from Jenkins/fastlane here is a temporary fix till jenkins xcode plugin gives a fix on this

If you have Xcode 8.2.1 or any version below 8.3, copy PackageApplication script from /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin

OR you can Download from this link - https://gist.github.com/anonymous/48f3e4c5ae25313dc0fe10d9ec50c3fc

Go to finder - /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin

paste the copied/downloaded above file here.
