In 5 Steps 1- setup all the cordova stuff (including Xcode, certificates, Android SDK, ios-deploy and yada yada yada). 2- Make sure that internet is turned on. 3- add your platform (cordova platform add ios). 4- run the stuff (cordova run ios -d ) with your phone connected via that cable you always seem to misplace. 5- There is no step 5 :S
Make sure that there is no lldb and pythong process running for run ios
The console run for iOS always starts slower for me compared to using a prepared cordova project from Xcode (cordova prepare ios)
