ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory

[FrankSunnyvale]

When I build webrtc using "dance" command on Macbook, it is always failed. Can anyone help me to fix this issue? Thanks a lot.

The OSX version is 10.11.3 El Capitan. Common steps performed:
$ source ios/build.sh
$ export WEBRTC_RELEASE=true
$ dance

Error message is:

I am also getting same error, could you find a way out?

[lboquan]

I've got the same error in both android and ios.

[ArikYa]

This was solved for Android yesterday. The fix for iOS isn't done yet

[dlewanda]

Hi @ArikYa, any updates on the iOS fix you mentioned a couple weeks back? Can you provide if/when you might expect an update that will resolve the ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory error?
