Cordova iOS is an iOS application library that allows for Cordova-based projects to be built for the iOS Platform. Cordova based applications are, at the core, applications written with web technology: HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

[Apache Cordova](https://cordova.apache.org/) is a project of [The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)](https://apache.org/).

## Requirements

* Xcode 11.x or greater. Download it at the [Apple Developer - Downloads](https://developer.apple.com/downloads) or the [Mac App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12).
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org)

## Create a Cordova project

Follow the instructions in the [**Command-Line Usage** section](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/edge/guide_cli_index.md.html#The%20Command-line%20Interface) of [Apache Cordova Docs](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/)

To use a **shared CordovaLib**, for example in development, link the appropriate cordova-ios platform folder path:

```bash
cordova platform add --link /path/to/cordova-ios
```

## Updating a Cordova project

When you install a new `cordova-cli` version that comes with a new iOS platform version, from within your project:

```bash
cordova platform rm ios
cordova platform add ios
```
