[andrewm-mitchells]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Generate new project with drawer template NG ns create ml-kit-test --template @nativescript/template-drawer-navigation-ng
2. Run npm i @nativescript/mlkit-core
3. Run ns build iOS

At this point you'd get the following error:
Command xcodebuild failed with exit code 65

This bug makes it impossible to use a barcode scanner on nativescript currently as other solutions like https://market.nativescript.org/plugins/@nstudio/nativescript-barcodescanner/ are also out of date and won't function properly
