Ionic Braintree Plugin Error: Expected "/* Begin ", "/* End ", "\"", or [A-Za-z0-9_.] but "/" found

Issue

Each time I install the Ionic Braintree plugin and build for iOS, it throws this error right after the cordova build ios terminal prompt

Expected "/* Begin ", "/* End ", "\"", or [A-Za-z0-9_.] but "/" found

I've tried removing the ios platform and then installing the plugin, then build for ios ionic cordova build ios. It breaks.

When I remove the platform and ionic cordova build ios it build the ios platform but as soon as I run ionic cordova run ios it throws the same error.

This error is only thrown for the ios platform, Android builds perfectly.

My cordova version in package.json is "cordova": "^8.0.0"

My braintree is "@ionic-native/braintree": "^4.5.0"

My ios is "cordova-ios": "4.5.4"

Can't seem to find a solution 🤷🏾‍♂️ online for this and thought someone here could help

UPDATE

Installing the dpa99c of the plugin seems to fix this

ionic cordova plugin add https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-braintree

Solution

Thanks for the question, and answer. If anyone's having issues, these are the steps that worked for me:

ionic cordova platform remove ios
ionic cordova plugin add https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-braintree
ionic cordova platform add ios

and then finally building. No more errors.
