PhoneGap 3.0 iOS plugin

Question

I'm starting to write a PhoneGap plugin for iOS, but I'm having trouble calling even a simple NSLog() in my Objective C code through cordova.exec(). With the recent release of PhoneGap 3.0 and the possibly confusing PhoneGap/Cordova naming, it's difficult to find resources online that provide any examples that are up-to-date or working.

Here is my barebones Objective C code:

// BLLog.h
#import 

@interface BLLog : CDVPlugin

    - (void)log:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand *)command;

@end

and

#import "BLLog.h"

@implementation BLLog

- (void)log:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand *)command
{
    NSLog(@"Hey, it works!");
}

@end

My html/javascript is pretty much the same as the code generated from a phonegap create with a few additions.

This code contains the cordova.exec():

var app = {
    ...
    log: function () {
        alert('log');
        cordova.exec(function (){ console.log('success') }, function () { console.log('error') },  'BLLog', 'log', []);
    }
};

Here is my config.xml:



    GapApp
    
        Hello World sample application that responds to the deviceready event.
    
    
        PhoneGap Team

I also tried replacing the tags with , but that didn't work either.

Finally, here is the XCode output:

2013-07-30 11:36:40.810 GapApp[407:907] ERROR: Plugin 'BLLog' not found, or is not a CDVPlugin. Check your plugin mapping in config.xml.

  "BLLog",
  "log",
  [

  ]
]

I would suggest doing a search in github. Look at other plugins.

One thing that is confusing is they use the same names that xcode does. They maybe referencing the config.xml in the xcode project.

All of the plugins I saw on github were plugin.xml

Take a look at this example. It may help.
