Updating Cordova 1.9 to 2.0 "#import <Cordova / CDVPlugin.h>" File Error Not Found

Question

Following the instructions outlined here: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.1.0/guide_upgrading_ios_index.md.html

I am trying to upgrade an existing iOS project from Cordova 1.9 to 2.0 .

After following the line instructions, I still get the following error when trying to start:

Lexical or Preprocessor Issue -- "#import <Cordova/CDVPlugin.h>" File Not Found 

The line generating this error reads:

 #import <Cordova/CDVPlugin.h> 

I tried to solve the following:

• Make sure that I correctly imported the CordovaLib project into my parent project
• Double checked that I use the correct import syntax with brackets, instead of quotes
• Verify that the CORDOVALIB directory is correct.
• Was the project clean and the clean build folder
• I tried recursively adding my CORDOVALIB folder in the user header search path. Did not do anything

I have a project that I created through the command line to build the cordova-2.0.0.js file. This project is working fine, and I almost went along the lines using the build settings, comparing it with my existing project and I can not think of anything else.

Answer 1

I have a similar problem, one fix for many is to make sure that the Xcode preference "Xcode Settings → Location → Derived Data → Advanced ..." is set to "Unique"

Answer 2

(Note: Phonegap 2.9.1 (November 2013))

I ran into the same problem trying to make a plugin with a plugin for an open source phone. The solution was to add Cordovalib.xcodeproj to the target project, after its completion, click on your_project.xcodeproj - you will need to find in the target settings under the tab "Build Phases", make sure that Cordovalib is added to the "Target Dependencies".

After this action is completed, the #import statement must be allowed.
