Answer 1

Hi myself found the issue. While I am adding plugin to cordova iOS project, required frameworks also getting added to the XCode Project (Frameworks mentioned in plugin.xml). And while I am removing the plugin, the framework already added still remains in the XCode project navigator window. When again I am adding the plugin, cordova not adding the framework to this project hence getting the build error.

Solution

• Run Cordova remove plugin through CLI
• Manually remove the unused framework reference from the xcode project.
• Add the plugin through Cordova CLI

I think this is either a Cordova or XCode bug. This error is inconsistent and its is happening sometimes. I got this error while developing & testing custom Cordova plugin.
