You can open the .xcworkspace file on /platforms/ios/ and Xcode will help you to create the certificates and provisioning profiles when you try to run the app. If a real device is connected to your pc and it is recognized as well, you ca just use cordova run android and the app will start on your device.

On your device: Go to settings/ developer settings/ allow USB debug mode If 'allow USB debug mode' option is disabled. Then you might have the device currently connected to your PC. Disconnect the device and the option should now...
