We are happy to announce that `Cordova iOS 3.9.0` has been released and will be the
default iOS version after next cordova-cli release.

**UPDATE:** To deploy to iOS devices, developers will have to update their ios-deploy
dependency to the version 1.4.0 or greater. Run `npm install ios-deploy -g` to download
the latest release.

Apart from a number of bug fixes, there is now support for checking system
requirements for iOS platform:

    $>cordova requirements ios
    
    Requirements check results for ios:
    Apple OS X: installed darwin
    Xcode: installed 6.3
    ios-deploy: installed 1.7.0
    ios-sim: installed 4.1.1

and support for [Signing the App for iOS platform](
http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/dev/guide_platforms_ios_tools.md.html#signing-the-app):

    $>/path/to/my/project/cordova/build --codeSignIdentity="iPhone Distribtion" --provisioningProfile="926c2bd6-8de9-4c2f-8407-1016d2d12954"

To upgrade:

    npm install -g cordova
    cd my_project
    cordova platform update ios@3.9.0

<!--more-->    
To add it explicitly:

    cordova platform add ios@3.9.0 --save

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).
