Description

Where in iOS Cordova is the code that generates the clang command? I would be happy to investigate this problem myself, if I knew where in the Cordova code that the clang (link) statement is generated.

The clang statement that is being generated is not correctly handling a space that is embedded in the App name:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang
.....
-FYour
-FBible/Plugins/com-shortsands-pkzip
-FBible/Plugins/com-shortsands-aws
-FBible/Plugins/com-shortsands-videoplayer
-FBible/Plugins/cordova-plugin-webserver
-FYour\ Bible/Plugins/com-shortsands-pkzip
-FYour\ Bible/Plugins/com-shortsands-aws
-FYour\ Bible/Plugins/com-shortsands-videoplayer
.....
The App is named "Your Bible". Noticed that it is not handling the space properly when it generates the -F parameters, and those all fail with not found errors. Then it generates -F parameters a second time, but this time correctly handling the space.

Custom, embedded frameworks are being used in these three plugins. This link problem appeared after they were added to the project.
