Error message

Also, disable HTTPS from quasar.config file > devServer > server > type: 'https'

What it means

Third line of the missing-AppDelegate.m warning group: since the SSL patch could not be applied, the app will reject the dev server's self-signed certificate, and Quasar advises disabling HTTPS via quasar.config file > devServer > server > type.

Solutions

1. Set devServer > server > type to 'http' in quasar.config (or remove the https override) so no certificate patch is needed.
2. Restore the standard iOS project layout (re-add the ios platform) so the patch can be applied, then re-enable HTTPS.
3. If HTTPS is mandatory, manually add the certificate-acceptance code (allowsArbitraryLoads / handling of the ATS exception) to AppDelegate.m yourself.

Example fix

// quasar.config.js — before
devServer: { server: { type: 'https' } }
// after
devServer: { server: { type: 'http' } }

// quasar.config.js guard — avoid https when the iOS patch may be unavailable
const fs = require('fs');
const canHttps = fs.existsSync('src-cordova/platforms/ios/App/App/AppDelegate.m');
module.exports = function (ctx) {
  return { devServer: { server: { type: canHttps ? 'https' : 'http' } } };
};

When it happens

Trigger: Emitted with errors 132/133 by #prepareAppDelegate during HTTPS Cordova iOS dev when AppDelegate.m is absent; consequence is white screen/connection failure in the iOS app against the https dev server.

Common situations: Developer keeps type:'https' while the patch failed and then sees the iOS app unable to connect; CI containers where the iOS platform was added with an incompatible cordova-ios.
