In the 4.5 Preview build (through Unreal Engine Launcher) it fails to build an IOS content only project on Windows [File → Package Project → IOS] when the Support Contact value in the project description page has letters, numbers and a new line.
NOTE; IOS was the only platform checked in the ‘Supported Platforms’ page in the project settings
Copy & Paste this into the Support Contact box and it should reproduce this error:

I solved this issue by clearing the Support Contact value box and re-built [File → Package Project → IOS]. Everything then worked fine. I have not tried to re-produce this issue after successfully building as it failed every time before I cleared the Support Contact Box
Hope that helps!
