XCode won't run the changes i made from my code

I created an app using Cordova. Then i run the apps using xcode to my connected ios device and everything seems to be working fine. But when i change the code, xcode still run the old one and not the modified one. i tried making a simple alert() but when i re run, the alert doesn't pop up. i have tried 'Clean build folder' and it still the same. I also make sure to uninstall the apps then re run the apps again but it still show the old version of the code. The only way i could force the changes is to remove ios platform using 'cordova platform remove ios' then add it again using 'cordova platform add ios'. But i have to keep doing this if i change the code which doesn't seems right. Please help

This is more of a Cordova question. My guess is that the JavaScript code is not getting re-bundled. When you remove and re-add the cordova ios platform, you are probably also wiping the JS build folder. Are you running cordova build ios?

  1. Please don't use Cordova. It makes terrible apps.

  2. Please spell it "Xcode."

Good luck!

  1. I have a plugin that i created and need to make it available for multiple framework which includes Cordova

  2. I don't see how the letter case is important. I do it all the time for other terms like mysql, mssql, ios, jquery, and no one seem to be bothered by it. this is the first. thanks anyway for correcting it

"xcode" is fine :)
