Vladimir Kotikov commented on CB-11082:
---------------------------------------
[~andry-tino], it is supposed to work this way. The native files, declared in
{{plugin.xml}} (including {{header-file}} and {{source-file}}) are get copied
to platform directory only once, at the plugin installation step.
If you're interested in developing custom plugin, you probably need to use the
{{--link}} option for [{{cordova plugin
add}}|http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-cli/index.html#cordova-plugin-command]
command, which creates a symlink for every native file so you can modify them
in one place and get these changes in both platform and plugin directories.
So the suggested approach is:
1. Create a plugin stub with native files (i see that you already have this
one)
2. Install it into your project using {{--link}} option - {{cordova plugin
add /my/custom/plugin --link}}
3. Add a platform to your project (if it is not yet added) - {{cordova
platform add ios}}
4. Open the project under {{platforms/ios}} directory with Xcode and start
updating it
All the changes made to source files and headers then will be reflected to
plugin files inside of {{plugins/com-myproj-myplugin}} and
{{/my/custom/plugin}} directories

> Key: CB-11082
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11082
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CLI, iOS
> Affects Versions: 3.6.3, 6.1.0
> Environment: Cordova 6.1 + App with iOS custom plugins
> Reporter: Andrea Tino
> Labels: ios, plugins
> Fix For: 6.1.0
>
>
> I do not understand how Cordova (latest version 6.1) deals with plugins. I
> have the following project for my app:
> {code}
> myapp (only relevant folders and files shown)
> +-config.xml
> +-platforms
> | +-ios
> | +-CordovaLib
> | +-MyApp
> | +-Plugins
> | +-com-myproj-myplugin
> | |-myplugin.h
> | |-myplugin.m
> +-plugins
> | +-com-myproj-myplugin
> | |-plugin.xml
> | +-src
> | +-ios
> | |-myplugin.h
> | |-myplugin.m
> +-www
> {code}
> As you can see, this project has a plugin {{myplugin}} which resides in 2
> directories:
> - The root {{plugins}} folder - Here file
> {{myapp\plugins\com-myproj-myplugin\src\ios\myplugin.m}} does not contain any
> code implementation (just signatures and empty content in functions).
> - The iOS application specific {{Plugins}} folder - Here file
> {{myapp\platforms\ios\MyApp\Plugins\com-myproj-myplugin\myplugin.m}} actually
> contains the implementation.
> ## Where is the redundancy?
> I thought that the model was as follows:
> 1. I call `cordova build ios`.
> 2. Cordova will copy resources from {{myapp\plugins\}} into specific platform
> plugin folders in {{myapp\platforms\...\Plugins\}}
> But turns out this is not the case. No copy is performed from the general
> `plugins` folder into platform specific `Plugins` folders.
> **My question** How am I supposed to develop the plugin in order to avoid
> this redundancy? Should the code be placed only in platform specific
> {{Plugins}} folder? But how about {{plugin.xml}} which is placed in the
> generic {{plugins}} folder?
