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.
