I am opening .xcworkspace of my Ionic 3 project and trying to run it on my device but I suddenly get the following error in Xcode:

I don't understand what is duplicated... any help would be really appreciated.

To solve the problem please have a look over this blog post from Cordova iOS 4.5. http://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2017/09/08/ios-release.html

You need to remove plugin "cordova-plugin-console" that is installed by default when generating a new Ionic project. Now this is in core part of cordova for iOS.
