Description

In the current project I am working when running cordova run ios command with an iphone connected to my mac via usb cable the app does not run automatically on the device that is connected. It instead throws an error 2016-11-05 22:42:28.595 ios-deploy[13652:464976] [ !! ] Can't access app path '/Users/brandonyoxtheimer/runiostest/platforms/ios/build/device/HelloCordova.app' : No such file or directory
Error: Error code 253 for command: ios-deploy with args: -justlaunch,-no-wifi,-d,-b,/Users/brandonyoxtheimer/runiostest/platforms/ios/build/device/HelloCordova.app

if i run cordova run ios --device it does deploy to the device. So it appears there is an issue where cordova is checking whether there is a device and building the app into the device directory under platforms/ios/build
