Question

I have already built an Xcode project without phoneGap, but the client wants to add some new functionality. So I decided to use phoneGap to do it, I don’t know how to import phoneGap to my old Xcode project. How can I do this?

You can embed a cordova webview in any ios project following this steps: (Steps for cordova version < 2.3, in 2.3 its a bit different, see the link below)

Drag and drop the Cordova.plist file into the Project Navigator of Xcode
Choose the radio-button "Create groups for any added folders"
Press the key combination Option-Command-A, which should drop down a sheet to add files to your project (the "Add Files..." sheet). Make sure the "Created groups for any added folders" radio-button is selected
Press the key combination Shift-Command-G, which should drop down another sheet for you to go to a folder (the "Go to the folder:" sheet)
Enter ~/Documents/CordovaLib/ in the "Go to the folder:" sheet and then press the "Go" button
Select the VERSION file in the the "Add Files..." sheet
