Improve ios upgrade procedure to take burden off of end developer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CB-209
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-209
Project: Apache Callback
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: iOS
Affects Versions: 1.3.0
Environment: IOS
Reporter: Gary Bentley
Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
Priority: Critical
Currently to upgrade phone gap to a new version it is recommended that you
create a completely new phone gap project and then migrate your settings across
to the new project.
This is problematic for a number of reasons:
1. There are many settings that have to be transfered, including splash images
and icons, external hosts, code signing setup, orientations and more. It is
onerous to have to manually set these up every time you want to use a new
version of phone gap.
2. It breaks your source control since the new project is not under source
control, it also breaks your archives within XCode.
Compare this with upgrading to a new phone gap version for Android where all
you need to do is change the .jar and .js file.
Having to manually re-create your project for a new version in ios is a
significant barrier and can be a huge time sync.
What is needed is an upgrade mechanism that is similar to Android, the end
developer should not be re-creating a project for new versions.
