2018-04-06T04:49:28.8199300Z ##[section]Finishing: Cordova Build ios

原因

cordova-iosビルドで必要な build.json ファイルが無かった。

対応

config.xmlと同じディレクトリにbuild.jsonを追加する。

build.json

{
    "ios": {
        "debug": {
            "codeSignIdentity": "iPhone Developer",
            "developmentTeam": "**********",
            "packageType": "development",
            "provisioningProfile": "********-****-****-****-************",
            "buildFlag": [
                "CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Manual"
            ]
        },
        "release": {
            "codeSignIdentity": "iPhone Developer",
            "developmentTeam": "**********",
            "packageType": "app-store",
            "provisioningProfile": "********-****-****-****-************",
            "buildFlag": [
                "CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Manual"
            ]
        }
    }
}

developmentTeamとprovisioningProfileの**********は各々設定する
xcode-8からcodeSignIdentity はdebugとreleaseどちらもiPhone Developerにする
