    I imagine I'm just overlooking something, but where on the phonegap download page is there an option to download version 3.2? I am only able to install phonegap via the command line, and when I do, I am not certain where it is placing the directory on the Mac.
    I also am unable to hook up with xCode.

    Q - Where on the phonegap download page is there an option to download version 3.2?

    It is not available. You should use commandline to install or update the latest version. Use the following command.

    $ sudo npm install -g phonegap

    Following command is to create the project. Make sure that you are in the directory where you are managing the sourcecode.

    $ phonegap create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
