----------------------------------
> Editing things in platforms/* by hand is not safe.
There's no warning in the documentation or the command line tool that running
the tool is unsafe.
> 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'm not writing native code. I just want to develop a cordova app using the
Xcode IDE.
How is the xcode project that is generated by the command line interface
supposed to be used then? All the files that the generated .xcodeproj points
to are in the platforms/ios subdirectories... and therefore will be
overwritten without warning the next time the user runs "cordova prepare ios".
So is the developer supposed to move the .xcodeproj file out of the platforms
directory before using it?
> "cordova prepare ios" overwrites existing source code files/directories
