Andrew Trice commented on CB-675:
---------------------------------
Patrick, that is exactly what I'm suggesting: "you can never create a new
project with an OLD version, but projects created from an OLD template will
continue to work."
Shaz: I don't mean just the JS file, but the actual Cordova.lib in Xcode gets
overwritten. So, project A still has the JS for 1.4, but the 1.7 library has
been installed on the computer (which overwrote the 1.4 Xcode library). In
this case the 1.4 JS isn't matching up with the 1,7 native library. If you
automatically switch out the JS (as mentioned in CB-385) it has potential to
cause more bugs in developer's code, and they won't know why. What I am
suggesting is that if you create a project with PhoneGap 1.5, include a copy of
the 1.5 library in the Xcode project, so future installations don't break
existing projects.

> There is one thing that is driving me crazy with PhoneGap. Currently in OSX,
> the Xcode project always references the machine's PhoneGap library. For a
> single project, this is fine. If you have multiple projects on your machine,
> and they use different versions of the PhoneGap SDK, then there is no way to
> easily manage the correct version of the SDK. Whether your project is
> PhoneGap 1.5 or 1.7, it will reference the last installed SDK. If you try
> and run a PhoneGap 1.5 app on a machine where you last installed the 1.7 RC,
> then the 1.5 app is likely to have errors (compiler errors from changes in
> the SDK, as well as JS errors). It would be great to have either versioned
> SDK libraries so that you can have multiple PhoneGap versions installed at
> the same time, or have a reference to the PhoneGap library in each project,
> so that installing a new SDK doesn't break older projects.
