# Bug Report
## Problem
For some reason, including `cordova-plugin-inappbrowser` ends up creating an
empty Podfile in the Xcode project. If you then run `pod install` on the
project, it ends up broken - you get a weird error:
`The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or
update your CocoaPods installation.`
I've searched the web, tried deleting files and clean rebuilding, etc. etc.
I could not find any workaround. It seems to just leave a permanently broken
Xcode project.
This might sound weird - don't run `pod install`, right? But this caused us
serious problems. We run a build service that builds people's Cordova projects
for them. We'd like our build service to run `pod install`, but we can't, as it
might break the project if it uses `cordova-plugin-inappbrowser`. So ideally
`cordova-plugin-inappbrowser` would not create an empty Podfile.
### What is expected to happen?
`cordova-plugin-inappbrowser` should not create an empty Podfile, as it
does not appear to actually use any pods.
### What does actually happen?
`cordova-plugin-inappbrowser` creates an empty Podfile that looks like this:
```
# DO NOT MODIFY -- auto-generated by Apache Cordova
platform :ios, '11.0'
target 'HelloWorld' do
project 'HelloWorld.xcodeproj'
end
```
If you run `pod install` with that, you get weird errors and the Xcode
project is basically broken. However in some cases we want to automatically run
`pod install`, and this complicates that.
## Information
### Command or Code
The smallest repro is to run these commands:
`cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWord`
`cd hello`
Now edit config.xml and add the line:
`<plugin name="cordova-plugin-inappbrowser"/>`
Then run:
`cordova platform add ios`
`cordova prepare`
Now look in the subfolder `platforms\ios`. There's an empty Podfile. If
`cordova-plugin-inappbrowser` is not included, then no Podfile is created.
I'm not sure what's going on here but would appreciate any insight in to why
this file is created, or if any change could be made to avoid creating it.
Thanks for any help!
