Here's a video demonstrating how to debug an iOS WebView directly.

This should make it easy to see where you're going wrong.

To create and open a Cordova app in Xcode for debugging:

[ ~] cordova create TestApp com.mydomain.testapp "TestApp"
Creating a new cordova project.
[ ~] cd TestApp/
[ ~/TestApp] cordova platform add ios --saveUsing cordova-fetchfor cordova-ios@~4.5.4
Adding ios project...
Creating Cordova project for the iOS platform:
    Path: platforms/ios
    Package: com.mydomain.testapp
    Name: TestApp
iOS project created with cordova-ios@4.5.4
Discovered plugin "cordova-plugin-whitelist" in config.xml. Adding it to the project
Installing "cordova-plugin-whitelist" for ios
Adding cordova-plugin-whitelist to package.json
Saved plugin info for "cordova-plugin-whitelist" to config.xml
--save flag or autosave detected
Saving ios@~4.5.4into config.xml file ...

[ ~/TestApp] open platforms/ios/TestApp.xcworkspace
[ ~/TestApp]

At this point in Xcode just choose your simulator and click the Run triangle:

The steps are:

1. On the Mac in Safari, go to Preferences... -> Advanced and enable Show Develop menu in the menu bar
2. Ensure the app is running on the simulator
3. In Safari choose Develop -> Simulator -- iPhone (model) -> choose the WebView -- note the WebView will highlight as you mouse over it in the menu
4. Begin Javascript debugging
