Description

If you have a name element with spaces in it, you can build, but you can't emulate in ios.

With this config.xml:

<name>App Name With Spaces</name>
...

This is the error message displayed:
/path/to/app/platforms/ios/build/App_Name_With_Spaces.app not found to emulate.

Note that this doesn't cause any issues with Android, and that running xcodebuild clean doesn't resolve this issue. The only workaround I could find was to re-checkout my application, and change the www/config.xml name element to have no spaces, and re-add the ios platform.

Issue Links

• depends upon: CB-4088 `cordova emulate ios` replaces spaces in project name with underscores, conflicting with `cordova build ios` behavior
• is duplicated by: CB-4343 "platform add blackberry10" balks when project <name> includes space characters
