I'm having a problem getting my PhoneGap 3.2.0 app to compile on Mac when the Zbar barcode scanner plugin is implemented. It will compile within XCode if I deploy to the device, but to a simulated device, it gives the error:

While I don't actually want or need the simulated devices; the problem is that from the terminal, when I run the command:
$ cordova build ios
it throws up the error:
Error: An error occurred while building the ios project.
** BUILD FAILED **
The following build commands failed:
Ld build/emulator/MyApp.app/MyApp normal i386
(1 failure)
If I try to type the command shown in the error on its own, it tells me:
ld: file not found: build/emulator/MyApp.app/MyApp
Which is true. It doesn't exist. I presume that something else is failing before this and stopping it from getting created.
If I remove Zbar all together, it everything works fine.
A previous version of the app I had made was way back at PhoneGap v2.5.0 and wasn't using the command-line-interface to create the build. I had put it all together manually, so it wasn't giving me this issue.
I've tried a lot of things already in the Build Settings / Build Phases sections. I've been at this for 2 weeks now, and it seems that everything I try just leads to new error messages. Please help!
