How to make nodejs generate an xcode project

I am trying to figure out if there is a way I can make an npm package that generates an ios xcode template project but have the project files renamed to the specified name, along with things like the application name being changed.
I have been researching this for a while and I cant find a clear answer on how I can achieve this.
I am trying to achieve the functionality that something like apache cordova has where it generates the ios project when running "cordova platform add ios"
How can I make something like this?

I figured out I can just use something like what this tutorial describes. instead of a javascript project being generated I can just use an xcode project and edit the properties of the project during generation.

ngCordova Plugins - Issue getting cordova.js included properly

I've been trying everything for the past two days to solve this issue. I'm well and truly stumped. Perhaps someone with greater knowledge than I can shed some light on the issue:
Basically, I'm building an app in AngularJS with the purpose of building Android and iOS apps from it using Cordova. I should specify that I am using cordova-cli on Linux and ngCordova (wrapper around plugins). I am NOT using Ionic Framework.
My app works fine in Chrome. I followed the ngCordova installation guide perfectly: http://ngcordova.com/docs/install/
I used bower to install. Then included the following in the index.html of my Web App project (not the Cordova project):
<script src="lib/ngCordova/dist/ng-cordova.js"></script>
It didn't work. I thought maybe it's because the ng-cordova.js went into my bower components directory. So I changed that script tag to:
bower_components/ngCordova/dist/ng-cordova.js
When I go to my cordova project directory and set up the platforms, plugins etc... and run:
cordova build android
followed by
cordova run android
The app runs on my device (Nexus 5). I use chrome://inspect to see what happens when I click the button which should be using the email composer plugin: I get a cordova not defined error.
I went into the controller and put this in
console.log($cordovaEmailComposer);
I can examine this in chrome://insepct and it has all the correct functions etc.. so ng-cordova.js is running fine (thats where the factory for the plugin is).
I'm 99% sure the issue is that somewhere along the line cordova.js is being lost. When I go into the cordova project in the ProjectName/www/index.html the tag for cordova.js is commented out.
Same in the platforms/android/assets/www/index.html file.
I traced it back and the same is true in WebAppProject/dist/index.html file. It's commented out. So it seems that when I run grunt build cordova.js is being removed. I thought maybe it's because cordova.js wasn't in the WebAppProject so I brought it into the root directory (same locations as index.html) and it still happened.
Can anyone explain how to properly get this working? I'm totally at a loss. I've tried a million different ways of including cordova.js. I even manually uncommented it out in the cordovaproject/www/index.html. The app builds but crashs upon opening (white screen then dies) suggesting a missing script (despite cordova.js being n that directory too...).
Is this the grunt build process? Or am I totally setting up an ngCordova project incorrectly without realising... I would post some code but I'm 99% sure the issue is with cordova.js or the way the project is building upon either grunt build or cordova build.
Any help would be much appreciated. :)
Cheers,
D

Make sure to include ngCordova before cordova.js and after angular.js.
<script src="/path/to/angular.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/ng-cordova.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/cordova.js"></script>

Minifying an existing ExtJS app with Sencha CMD

Im looking for a way to minify my extjs app. The app has already (and will have more) 100+ files like views etc which are loading on the launch and I heard that using a Sencha CMD to minify it would be a good idea, when the app will finally get to production.
Unfortunately, Ive ran into some problems while using the Sencha cmd.
Here's what I did:
downloaded the app to my local
installed sencha cmd v5.1.2.52
Now I try to simply do 'sencha app build', like the tutorials say. It throws me an error [ERR] Command must be run from an app or package folder.
Already tried doing it in main folder, but also tried in "app" inside it. Always the same error.
I probably missed something, because I read about the .sencha folder, it probably should be in my application's folder, but it isnt. Maybe its because of that?
I've also seen a solution to do a 'sencha app init' (thought it could generate some init folders like .sencha) but the command doesnt exists (maybe it would work on older sencha cmd?).
If someone could be that nice and provide me some steps I should take, or point me the steps I missed, itd be very helpful. I did search for it, most of infos say the 'sencha app build' should work but it didn't, Ive also ran into the 'Sencha SDK' but people says its outdated.

If you want to use this facility,first you must use Compiler-Friendly Code Guidelines include:
Framework Awareness
Code Organization
Class Declaration
...

http://docs-origin.sencha.com/cmd/5.x/cmd_compiler.html

It sounds like you're missing the metadata that Cmd needs to run an application build.
Try generating a new "app" with Sencha Cmd via the sencha generate app command in a new folder. Then copy your existing application into this folder (replacing the app.js file, /app/ and other bits).
Then try building your application using sencha app build

Phonegap Build plugin not recognised, js not loading

I've been tasked with learning how to build Phonegap Apps through AEM 6.0. So far i managed to create an empty starting point app and get some features fro the ootb geometrixx app back in.
Now i've been trying to add the phonegap camera plugin without success.
I've added the required line to our config.xml:
<gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.camera" version="0.3.2" />
and to our installPlugins js that's called as a before_platforms_add cordova hook.
I've checked CLI build and the contents of the apk we're getting from phonegap build and all the files that should be present are present. However I'm still getting File Not Found errors on the js files and a Plugin Does Not Exist Cordova error.
screenshot link for browser console & file structure of apk
Googling hasn't gotten me any real pointers so far, perhaps somebody here can help me out?

After after even more searching and delving into the apk provided by Phonegap Build, a solution has turned up:
As it turns out, there was a third place where the loading of the js files was controlled, namely the contentsync-file-list.js.jsp file located in the splash page component.
Somehow, although the files were present in the phonegap builds and known to cordova, the list of a plugin's js files not being included in the contentsync-file-list.js.jsp prevents them from actually being loaded by the app.

Phonegap Android HTML wont update

I am trying to upload some code html and javascript code into phonegap to develop this app however when I update the files the program still runs the old code as to what was in the html file before. I have even started a new project and it will not change the old index.html image even though the code behind it is different. I'm really confused as to why this is and I was wondering what I could do to solve this. I even searched through the workspace index.html file and it is the correct file that I want in there but upon running it i am given the same your device is ready hello world. I checked the location of the files and everything is correct. It is very confusing. I am using eclipse by the way not phonegap build if that helps.

you need to build your project again.
cordova build android
But make sure you edit your files in www folder in parent folder.

Make sure you are updating the WWW file in the root Phonegap folder. Then you can run the command:
$ cordova build
or
$ phonegap build
