The screenshots may be outdated but I think the pitfall is self-evident and needs to be documented. I think this is not specific to Ionic.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Read the linked cordova-ios issue comments first to confirm the Xcode project-selection pitfall and its wording. Then locate the appropriate Cordova iOS documentation page and document that Xcode should build the application project rather than the Cordova subproject, checking whether the referenced screenshots are still current.
