Does the ` appcenter codepush release-cordova ...` work on Windows for iOS Apps? about cordova-plugin-code-push HOT 2 CLOSED

After some investigations, I noticed that cordova prepare includes for some reason not all plugins to the frontend libraries:
platforms\ios\www\cordova_plugins.js and platforms\ios\www\plugins\*. That is why the codepush bundle miss those plugins and the app is broken. Do somebody knows why cordova adds not all resources to the www/ folder?

In a meanwhile I have fixed this issue, by using after_prepare hook and manually coping the frontend resources from android platform.

config.xml

<platform name="ios">
    <hook type="after_prepare" src="hooks/ios-prepare.js" />

ios-prepare.js

const io = require('atma-io');
io.File.copyTo(
    '/platforms/android/platform_www/cordova_plugins.js',
    '/platforms/ios/www/cordova_plugins.js',
);
io.Directory.copyTo(
    '/platforms/android/platform_www/plugins',
    '/platforms/ios/www/plugins/',
    { verbose: true }
);

Using the moment, I would like to express gratitude to the team - great library and the platform.

Another update

It was a bad idea to copy android frontend plugins to to ios www, as the scripts are different. Our final solution was to extract *.ipa package to the target windows machine, and in after_prepare hook to copy the proper cordova_plugins.js file and plugins/ folder from iOS bundle.
