Describe the bug
I am unable to run or build the app.
I can build the prepared app using XCode (once I fix the signing configuration, another potential issue with prepare command)
When trying to list available provisioning profiles:
tns <run|build|provision> ios --provision
Results in the not so friendly:
Expected """ or [^'"'] but "'" found.
When I run the command with the logging level increased:
tns <run|build|provision> ios --provision --log trace
I get the more useful:
...
Current CLI version: 6.7.4
Project dir from hooksArgs is: undefined.
Hooks directories: [ '/Users/j/Projects/visionlab/sad-dev/hooks' ]
BeforeHookName for command resolveCommand is before-resolveCommand

Validate options for platform: iOS

I tried to checkout what was going on above but it's complicated. I think it fails when trying to parse provisioning profiles.
Sadly the same error occurs when I try to supply a provisioning profile:
tns run ios --provision <UUID or Name>
Same thing happens on a newly created app.
Trying to run the app with no provisioning profile supplied in the command line fails with a signing error (regardless of the PROVISIONING_PROFILE or DEVELOPMENT_TEAM) being set in app/App_Resources/build.xcconfig but that's probably another issue.
To Reproduce
tns create sad-dev
cd sad-dev
tns run ios --provision
Expected behavior
A list of provisioning profiles
Additional context
I am running on Catalina. All seemed to work before I updated the OS. But sadly other stuff changed as well: NS version, etc...

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with tns create sad-dev, then tns run ios --provision on the reported environment. Start with ios-provision-service.js and the ios-mobileprovision-finder parser, especially parsers/security-find-identity.js, where the trace shows parsing fails. Done means provisioning profiles can be listed and a supplied profile can be used without the reported syntax error.
