I am also a completely new PhoneGap in this world, and I had the same issue with the iOS version.
Make sure you are using version 2.0.0, as version 2.0.1 is currently missing a .pkg file. Follow the instructions at Phonegap.com.
When you run ./create /user/myhome/documents/HelloWorld com.mydomain.HelloWorld HelloWorld and open HelloWorld.xcodeproj , select the HelloWorld project, then go to Targets , click on HelloWorld , then go to the Build Phases tab. Expand the Target Dependencies parameter. There must be a CordobaLib item listed, and if there is one, delete it and add it again.
It took me a few hours to find out, hope this saves others time!
