Setup Apache Cordova environment on Mac OSX

On Mac OSX get the prerequisite tools from these links and follow the steps similar to my previous post.

XCODE: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/
NodeJS: http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.35/node-v0.10.35.pkg
GIT: http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/

Install on the default directories the tools above and follow these simple steps:

1- Install cordova using sudo

$ sudo npm install -g cordova

2- Create the project

$ cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld

3- Add the platform to build ios

$ cordova platform add ios

4- Build on iOS accepting the prompt of the XCode license (run this command another time if the build does not complete after you accept the license prompt)

$ cordova build ios

5- Open the XCode project file located under hello/platoforms/ios/HelloWorld.xcodeproj
a popup message should appear the first time you try to open a debuggable project like this.
Confirm the install:

6- Run the app in the xcode simulator pressing play:

If you want to run by command line install the ios simulator with npm:

$ sudo npm install -g ios-sim

$ cordova emulate ios
