Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/gianfranco/givebox/givebox.ui.mobile/platforms/ios/Givebox.xcworkspace/project.pbxproj'

The file project.pbxproj exists in the Givebox.xcodeproj folder not Givebox.xcworkspace.

Since cordova compile should be the same as cordova prepare cordova build (link)

This works:

$ cordova build ios --release --device --packageType=app-store --developmentTeam=xyz --provisioningProfile=abc
