Description

I am carefully documenting my steps for creating an app using PhoneGap CLI to share with others. I ran into an unexpected error. Here are the steps to the error. I had already successfully created the folder with:

cordova create AAA com.myproject MyProject

I've also used Homebrew to successfully install the ios-sim. Here are the steps after that:

Project Creation, PhoneGap CLI-style

20. I wanted to create an app called TestApp in the folder ./Documents/AndroidApps/TestApp. So I would build up the command line like:

cordova create ./Documents/AndroidApps/TestApp com.stevehusting.TestApp TestApp

21. After the create command, indicate what platform you are building. Make sure the Terminal indicates that the current folder is the TestApp folder, and type:

cordova platform add ios

I received the error when I started the command from the TestApp folder:

[Error: An error occured during creation of ios sub-project. /bin/sh: /Users/Steve/.cordova/lib/ios/cordova/2.9.0/bin/create: No such file or directory]

I asked the program to list the platforms associated:

cordova platform list

… and got the response:

No platforms added. Use `cordova platform add <platform>`.

This seems like circular reasoning! I had already installed node.js, and followed the steps carefully in http://photokandy.tumblr.com/post/46289610781/getting-started-with-cordova-cli
