Thanks for the useful script. I had to npm install xcode before it worked. Also, I temporarily put it into hooks/before_prepare so that I could apply it to my existing platforms/ios folder without having to drop/add the platform.

this is deprecated behavior due config.xml hooks implemented in cordova 5.x

Didn't work DISABLE_PUSH_NOTIFICATIONS=1 for me, but DISABLE_PUSH_NOTIFICATIONS=true did
