Cordoba 8 + iOS 4.5.4 = cannot find the module "../cordova/platform_metadata"

Question

Since the last upgrade to v8 from Cordoba, I can’t create anything on the Mac. I always get

(node 626) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Cannot find module '../cordova/platform_metadata'

I tried what was suggested in this , but I get the same error.

Then I made a verbose version, and it looks like the plugin needed for the build for ios does not work well.

Executing script found in plugin cordova-plugin-swift-support for hook "after_prepare": plugins/cordova-plugin-swift-support/src/add-swift-support.js
Resolving module name for cordova-lib/src/cordova/platform_metadata => ../cordova/platform_metadata
