Description

On Android, we use symlinks. Xcode (as of 6.1) this approach doesn't work:

• It builds fine,
• But it won't save your changes to a file (gives an error dialog)

Instead, we should have the .pbxproj file point directly to the plugin source files to enable this use-case.

Going to do this just for source & headers for now, since they are the greatest value. Could be that for assets, symlinks would be fine.
