Xcode – When writing a cordova plugin for ios, how do I set the minimum ios platform in my podfile?

I’m writing a cordova plugin and I have a framework I’m adding with cocoapod. The framework has a minimum ios requirement of version 13.0. When my pod file is generated it is defaulting to ios 10.0. How do I set the required IOS version in my plugin.xml?

plugin.xml snippets:

<engines>
        <engine name="cordova" version=">=6.0.0" />
        <engine name="cordova-android" version=">=9.0.0" />
        <engine name="cordova-ios" version=">=5.1.0" />
</engines>

 <platform name="ios">
    ...
    <podspec>
        <config>
            <source url="https://cdn.cocoapods.org/"/>
        </config>
        <pods use-frameworks="true">                
            <pod name="ArcGIS-Runtime-SDK-iOS" spec="100.10" />
        </pods>
    </podspec>
</platform>

podfile created:

source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!
target 'testPluginApp' do
  project 'testPluginApp.xdodeproj'
  prod 'ArcGIS-Runtime-SDK-iOS', '100.10'
end

    My guess is that the iOS 10.0 platform is coming from the Cordova plugin.xml. Perhaps tied to the 5.1.0 version of cordova-ios?

    I am not a Cordova developer, but you could try setting the deployment-target in your config.xml. See here (scroll down to deployment-target).

    A quick Google search would indicate that this is the expected way to resolve this, but that it is a bit touchy.

    Setting the deployment-target in the config.xml is correct.

    <preference name="deployment-target" value="13.0" />

    However, the pod file will only be updated if you add the ios platform again before calling cordova prepare or cordova build.

    My final working solution:

    cordova platform add ios && cordova prepare ios && cordova build ios

    which results into

    platform :ios, '13.0'
