Answer 1

Find the file called copy-www-build-step.sh.

Mine was in [project_folder]/platforms/ios/cordova/lib/copy-www-build-step.sh

In that file, find the lines beginning rsync -a "...

Add -c to the rsync lines, so they ready rsync -a -c "...

copy-www-build-step.sh is the script that copies the files over from www/ to where they go inside the app file. rsync is the unix file copying command they use. Without that -c, rsync just compares the file size on each file and folder and copies them over if the size has changed, and a couple of spaces or quotes don't count as enough of a change. With the -c, it checksums them and compares the checksums, which will catch even the smallest changes.

I think this will work best, because it's not a workaround, it actually fixes the cause of the problem.

I do not have mac right now, but few things to try:

• Try to look at Your project build (or prebuild or something) action where www folder is supposed to be copied.

• Try to change index.html and see if it works.

• Try to copy paste all Your javascript code to index.html script tag

• Try to validate Your javascript (For example: Google Closure Compiler) and see if it has no problems
