Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory '<path>/plugins/ios.json' when trying to add a platform

I'm trying to build my own version of the viewer app with custom plugins. I downloaded the latest release and tried to add android/ios as platforms, but I receive the error mentioned on the title. This is the full error log:

Any news on this issue?

You can get around this issue by adding android platform first.

Hello,

Same problem for me.
Adding Android did not solved the problem.
