New PhoneGap / Cordova iOS project won't run after renaming
cordova, ios, rename, xcode
Solution
I don't know why the renaming was failing, and I can't explain that `"Finished running... No issues"` problem. But: `cordova create` takes an extra argument that was missing.
This solves the problem:
`cordova create Survey com.domain.mysurveyap "Survey"`
The final `"Survey"` there sets the project name on creation, thus avoiding the need to rename the project in the first place.
Problem
When you create a fresh Cordova project it's called HelloCordova, which is also the app icon name. If I rename the project in XCode it will no longer run in the iPad simulator. I am running Cordova 3 and Xcode 4.6.3 on OS X 10.8.4 Steps to reproduce In terminal: - `cordova create Survey com.domain.mysurveyap` - `cd Survey` - `cordova platform add ios` - `cordova build` This creates the XCode project in platforms/ios/. I then open it in XCode. The project is called `HelloCordova`. I hit run with the target set to iPad 6.0 Simulator. `Running HelloCordova on iPad 6.0 Simulator. No issues` Good. I get the Hello World app up. Next I rename the project by changing the `Project Name` in the Identity panel. I'm doing this a) because I don't want my project to be called 'HelloCordova'. b) because the name here seems to dictate what the App Icon is labelled as on the device. I rename it to 'Survey': Xcode prompts me to rename related project content items for me. I click 'Rename' After renaming, I go to run in the simulator again. Now it won't run. I see a 'Build succeeded' overlay for a moment. But in the status panel at the top it says: `Finished running Survey.app on iPad 6.0 Simulator. No issues.` I notice that it still shows 'HelloCordova' in the scheme selector. I have tried running 'Clean' and also restarting XCode. This is a completely fresh PhoneGap project with no modifications. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
