Braden Shepherdson resolved CB-4745.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Let me explain the intended flow, since I think you're confused.
- You write your app in top-level www (and maybe merges/ios, if necessary).
- You run "cordova prepare"
- Prepare copies top-level www as well as plugin assets and JS files into
platforms/ios/www.
- You launch your app from Xcode.
- The build script copies platforms/ios/www (note that this is the complete,
all-in www, with plugin files and top-level files and cordova.js and
everything).
- It runs.
If you've been changing the top-level files, you need to run cordova prepare
before rebuilding the app. We'll have a "cordova watch" command eventually to
do that whenever files change.
If you've been changing the platforms/ios/www files, they're intended to be
overwritten, so you shouldn't edit them.
If you're still seeing behavior inconsistent with that flow, please reopen and
explain.
To reiterate,
> cordova add ios creates xcodeproj in platforms instead of top level directory

> Key: CB-4745
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4745
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Patrick Senti
> Assignee: Braden Shepherdson
> Labels: cordova-cli, ios, xcode
>
> What happens:
> cordova add ios creates the xcodeproj in platforms/ios.
> cordova build ios will overwrite any changes made in platforms/ios
> What should happen:
> cordova add ios should create the xcodeproj in the top level folder
> Rationale:
> With the current setup it is dangerous to use the xcodeproj. Any changes made
> e.g. to www/index.html will be overwritten by cordova build ios with whatever
> is in the top-level www/index.html.
> Workaround:
> In xcode, open the platforms/ios/...xcodeproj
> Remove the www folder (only the reference)
> Add the project/www as a reference
