Description

Build error Cordova/CDVViewController.h file not found

Turns out the CordovaLib.xcodeproj reference in the template's project is not found.

Fix in the .pbxproj:
Change

{ isa = PBXFileReference; lastKnownFileType = "wrapper.pb-project"; path = "CordovaLib.xcodeproj"; sourceTree = CORDOVALIB; };

to

{ isa = PBXFileReference; lastKnownFileType = "wrapper.pb-project"; path = CordovaLib/CordovaLib.xcodeproj; sourceTree = "<group>"; };

Note that I have not tested this change with an older Xcode 8 (< 8.3.2), so that might complicate things.

iOS platforms in the wild older than cordova-ios@4.4.0 will need a hook to transform the pbxproj if the developer upgraded to Xcode 8.3.2
