This is all moot when new Xcode bits are required when iOS 7 comes out. I would post a Apple login protected link but their dev site is still down.
Projecting my intent on ios-sim and ios-deploy use in Cordova iOS. I've filed some issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4334 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4336 Right now we are requiring ios-sim to do cordova emulate, by telling users to install using homebrew. I've added both tools to npm: http://npmjs.org/ios-sim http://npmjs.org/ios-deploy So, instead of the homebrew install requirement it will just be nodejs - which we are already requiring for the CLI tool. I would use ios-deploy in the same vein for deploying to the device, which the iOS platform is lacking in currently. Also, when the new bits are released I would detect the new bits, and use them first if not fall back to the ios-sim/ios-deploy bits.
