NativeScript for iOS version 0.10.0

We've just passed the 0.10.0 milestone and here are some exciting changes that happend in the ios runtime:

Runtime

Issues	Description
#4	We will try to freeze the application on crash if there is a debugger attached so the debugger can be used to examine the errors.
#4	When Objective-C exception is thrown from code called from JavaScript, it will be wrapped in JavaScript Error and reported to the debugger.
#23	We have fixed the “tagged pointers“ bug on iPhone 5s with iOS7.0.
	We have dramatically reduced the “tns-ios” package size by stripping the debug symbols from the NativeScript.framework.
	We have fixed the project template to support properly the app-id provided from the CLI.
#48, #43	We’ve cleaned the package.tgz from some xcodebuild logs and the Chrome version of the inspector.
#31, #34, #16	Made submodules public, fixed builds
#40	tns_modules are now expected in the app folder. We are backward compatible but will remove the compatibility in future.
#65	We have updated the project template to use larger resolution
#39	Promise reactions have too low a priority on the runloop

JavaScript API

Issues	Description
	JavaScript Date is implicitly converted to NSDate and vice versa.
	JSON object and JS Map, when passed to native, are wrapped in NSDictionary. NSDictionaries do not behave as JSON objects when returned from native.
