We are happy to announce that Cordova iOS 3.9.0 has been released and will be the default iOS version after next cordova-cli release.

UPDATE: To deploy to iOS devices, developers will have to update their ios-deploy dependency to the version 1.4.0 or greater. Run npm install ios-deploy -g to download the latest release.

Apart from a number of bug fixes, there is now support for checking system requirements for iOS platform:

$>cordova requirements ios

Requirements check results for ios:
Apple OS X: installed darwin
Xcode: installed 6.3
ios-deploy: installed 1.7.0
ios-sim: installed 4.1.1

and support for Signing the App for iOS platform:

$>/path/to/my/project/cordova/build --codeSignIdentity="iPhone Distribtion" --provisioningProfile="926c2bd6-8de9-4c2f-8407-1016d2d12954"

To upgrade:

npm install -g cordova
cd my_project
cordova platform update ios@3.9.0

To add it explicitly:

cordova platform add ios@3.9.0 --save

For non-CLI projects or for pre-3.0 projects, refer to the upgrade guides.
