Braden Shepherdson updated CB-5397:
-----------------------------------


Working As Intended. The cordova prepare (run after platform add and plugin 
add/rm) step copies files into the platforms/* directories from the top level. 
Editing things in platforms/* by hand is not safe.

There's no such thing as "user-created source files" in cordova-cli, the 
supported way to add custom native code to a project is by creating a plugin.

I won't close this, because we should review the documentation to make sure 
this is clearly noted.

> "cordova prepare ios" overwrites existing source code files/directories
