Description

Cordova 3.1.0 CLI doesn't run the emulator properly for iOS. It might be broken for other platforms as well. Cordova CLI 3.1.0 was installed using npm -g

In the following test, the project is created and the ios platform is added. The cordova emulate ios looks like it compiles in the background but the emulator is never opened.

$ cordova create test-cli com.silverorange.test-cli TestCLI
$ cd test-cli
$ cordova platform add ios
$ cordova emulate ios

If I enter the platform dir and run the emulate command directly, the ios-simulator opens as expected.

$ cd platforms/ios/cordova
$ ./emulate
