Description

Insatlling a custom plugin for Cordova with an iOS implementation that has a data model package with multiple versions cannot be supported without manual steps being taken. Inside the data model package a lcoked hidden file is required by XCode called .xccurrentversion which holds XML to instruct XCode how to deal with the multiple versions of data model. The .xccurrentversion file is not copied over when adding the plugin to a project, which results in the iOS app not functioning, although it compiles.

The issue is fact it is hidden, as unhiding the file allows Plugman to copy the file, but then XCode is not happy as it expects the file to be hidden.

What is required that plugman simply copies the data model package in it's entirety included the .xccurrentversion file without changing the permissions.

We have had to add manual instructions for the moment to tell the user to copy the data model package in post adding the plugin.
