Answer 1

Please Check did you follow below steps in same way:

a) Download and install Node.js
b)$ sudo npm install -g cordova
c)Set your path where you want to create your project in this case Desktop
   $ cd Desktop
d)$ cordova create Firstapp com.example.first FirstApp
e)$ cd Firstapp
f)$ cordova platform add ios
g)$ cordova platforms ls
h)$ cordova build
i) Now, you can add your plugins

1)$ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device
2)$ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.network-information
3)$ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.battery-status 
and soon

Thanks

Answer 2

You have to use xcode-select to choose default xcode or you are pointing at the wrong path. Try this:

sudo xcode-select -switch /path_to_xcode/Xcode.app
