update_platform_config.js terminates when there is a browser platform

[objectkuan]

For my case, I have a browser platform and an ios platform.

When processing the browser platform, it gets an exception and goes to process.stdout.write(e);. This terminates the script and so, the ios platform is not processed.

The script stops here:

I traced this down to the fact there appears to be no _.indexBy method in lodash. I ended up using the lodash.indexby module

add a require at the top of the file after the other requires: var indexBy = require('lodash.indexby');

replace _.indexBy in the script with just plain indexBy and that fixed the problem

I just experienced the same thing. I am just going to fork my project and modify the code for the browser platform. This was not a huge deal to me, but we'll see how I feel after I get a bit farther in my development.

Hello,

The problem in my case was the <"preference name="StatusBarStyle" value="lightcontent"/>tag in my config.xml file.

I removed this line and the build worked.

Hello, Same problem, different case : After changing widget id of the application in the config.xml (to build a modified version of the application) ios platform still with old id. I tried to run grunt platform:add:android, it failed. I was needed to remove ios platform before.
