We are happy to announce that `Cordova iOS 3.7.0` has been released!

This release has various bug fixes, and will be the default iOS version when the cordova-cli 4.1.0 is released.
This release also requires Xcode 6.

To upgrade:

    npm install -g cordova
    cd my_project
    cordova platform update ios

To add it explicitly:

    cordova platform add ios@3.7.0



For non-CLI projects or for pre-3.0 projects, refer to the [upgrade guides](http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/dev/guide_platforms_index.md.html).
