Open the new workspace and attempt to build
Get the following error:

 /bin/sh -c /Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/AmplifyPrac-bealbahytjoipvfcoytbyzyythmp/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphoneos/amplify-tools.build/Script-A25A17163ECF22B928D19C9FEBC62DAB.sh

Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

It is also giving the mistaking warning that node was not found.

% which node
/Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v12.16.0/bin/node
% node --version
v12.16.0

% which npm

% npm --version

@detectedstealth @buffpojken This is an issue when using zsh as the default shell. As a workaround, you can run npx amplify-app --platform ios in the root of the project and the rest of the steps in the documentation should work as expected.

@detectedstealth yes this is an issue with nvm not being loaded through Xcode’s non-interactive shell.

As for the named profile, please update profile in amplifyxc.config to your desired named profile if default is not configured.

We will look into ways to loading different shell profiles through Xcode as well as updating the docs to make this flow clearer.
