dpogue commented on issue #465: CB-11605 Non-destructive platform update
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/pull/465#issuecomment-419169159
 
 
   @raphinesse Once upon a time I think we did try to actually update platform 
files. That failed spectacularly, as you can probably imagine.
   
   What Jesse is proposing here is to make `cordova platform update ios` do two 
things:
   1. Make a backup of the existing `platforms/ios` folder.
   2. Run a platform add with the latest version of the platform.
   
   This is slightly better than our current instructions of telling users to do 
a `platform rm`/`platform add` which might cause them to lose any changes 
they've made to the platform native files.
