When attempting to build for ios, the xcode workspace that capacitor outputs is empty
I was able to reproduce it with the starter template, so I get the impression something is missing from my setup.
What might I be missing from my installation?
Thanks in advance.
Reproduction:

.. Which opens an empty code window (originally included a screenshot, but was flagged as spam)
I would expect the project to not be empty – or is the project hiding behind a button I’ve missed?
The fact that ionic serve works fine, and I can build the android app on a windows machine, makes me think its a Capacitor installation issue. It seems as though something is missing, but it is not causing an error.
If I try ionic cap run ios, it errors out:
