+- Select the _Next_ button
+- Fill in the _Product Name_ and _Company Identifier_ for your app
-
-- **IMPORTANT! DO NOT CHECK** the "Use Automatic Reference Counting" checkbox
-- Select the **Next** button
-- **Choose a folder** to save your new app in
-- Select the **Create** button, this will create your project
-- Select the **Run** button in the top left corner. Your build should succeed and launch in the iOS Simulator
- a. You should see an error in the iOS Simulator informing you that **www/index.html** was not found
-
- b. To fix this, we need to add a folder reference to the **www** directory into the project.
-
+- **Note:** Do **not** check _Use Automatic Reference Counting_
+- Select the _Next_ button
+- Choose a folder to save your new app
+- Select the _Create_ button
+
+We've now created an Apache Cordova project. Next, we need to associate the
+project with a web directory. We need to do this step because of a limitation
+in Xcode project templates.
+
+- Select the _Run_ button in the top left corner.
+ - your build should succeed and launch in the iOS Simulator
+ - you should see an error in the iOS Simulator informing you that _www/index.html was not found_
+ - we can fix this by adding a folder to the project that references `www`
+
-- **Right-click** on the project icon in the Project Navigator (left sidebar) and select **Show in Finder**
-- **In the Finder**, you should see the **www** directory beside your project
+- Right-click on the project icon in the _Project Navigator_ (left sidebar) and select _Show in Finder_
+- Using Finder, you should see a `www` directory inside your project
-- **IMPORTANT**! **Drag** the **www** folder into Xcode 4. **Don't** drag the www folder into your app's folder. **It needs to be dragged into Xcode 4.** For example, you would drag and drop it on the **highlighted red section** of the HelloWorld project shown below.
-
+- Drag the `www` directory into Xcode
+ - A common mistake is to drag the `www` directory into your app's directory inside of Finder
+ - Please follow the red highlighted section of the image below:
+
-- A window sheet should slide down with a few options, after the **"www"** folder has been dragged and dropped into the project.
-- Select the radio-button **Create folder references for any added folders**.
- 
+- After dragging `www` into Xcode, you will be prompted with a few options.
+ - Select _Create folder references for any added folders_
+ - Select the _Finish_ button
-- Select the **Finish** button
+
