xcrun: error: unable to find utility "PackageApplication", not a developer tool or in PATH - Since updating Xcode


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.

Linked in the Jenkins issue that matson kepson mentioned here there was a guy who attempted a PR to fix the issue. There was some unfinished change requests in his PR and I also found a few null ptrs in his changes. I forked his pr and fixed these things here and there is now a snapshot linked here that you can download and become unblocked until such a change is merged into the full build.
