[DISCUSS] Cordova iOS 4.5.1 release

We need a 4.5.1 release soon to address iOS 11 issues.

Here’s the things that are pending or have been fixed:

- cordova-ios@4.5.0 has been released which fixes a bunch of things. Now of
course, we need to have a cordova-ios@4.5.1 release because of the other
points below…

- ios-sim is broken, it doesn’t list the new 2017 iPhones. Apple released
Xcode 9 with a buggy listing of devices using `xcrun simctl` (i.e. listing
iPhone 8 as iPhone2017-A for example) so we can’t list them properly. I
have fixed this with a workaround:
https://github.com/phonegap/ios-sim/issues/218 and
https://github.com/phonegap/ios-sim/issues/219 - This new ios-sim when
released needs to go in a new cordova-ios release asap

- simctl is broken, it doesn’t launch the Simulator (so `cordova emulate
ios` is affected). I have filed issues:
https://github.com/phonegap/ios-sim/issues/209 and
https://github.com/phonegap/simctl/issues/14 . Of course I will have to
work on those, and no surprise Apple changed things again… This will go in
the new ios-sim which in turn will go in the new cordova-ios

- Viewport and iPhone X notch issues – with the help of the community. Need
to be addressed properly (blog post only?). Summarized by Darryl Pogue:
    - status bar plugin -- Has a PR to use the safeArea height instead of
20px
    - iPhone X letterboxing -- Requires the use of LaunchStoryboards, not
really a "bug"
    - viewport-fit stuff -- Up to the HTML author, not really a "bug", and
a few blogs posts about it

- ios-deploy couldn’t compile under Xcode 9. Apple either prevents or had a
bug where it couldn’t link to Private Frameworks. Workaround added:
https://github.com/phonegap/ios-deploy/issues/308 . This should have been
in 4.5.0 already

 I have just tested all the above issues with the official release versions of iOS 11 and Xcode 9 and can confirm that they are all fixed. We just need to merge in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13191, and then we should be good to release cordova-ios@4.5.1.

 Nope because compat only has Android code.

Is the iOS release blocked by the plugin release that is currently blocking
Android?
