Mobile/PhoneGap/iOS build instructions

Wikipedia's new official mobile application is designed to run cross-platform using the PhoneGap framework. Initial steps to make it work on iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) are underway.

Currently you must use a webkit-based browser such as Google Chrome, however not all features work. Additionally, currently you must disable security features in the browser which is unsafe, make sure you don't do any regular browsing in this mode!

Requirements

 * Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
 * XCode 4.2.1
 * PhoneGap 1.3.0 for iPhone
 * after installing XCode, install the PhoneGap iPhone frameworks
