Cordova Config.xml
Cordova Config.xml is the main configuration file for Apache Cordova applications, defining essential app metadata, preferences, and plugin settings. It specifies app details like name, version, and icons, and controls platform-specific behaviors and permissions. This XML-based file is crucial for building and deploying hybrid mobile apps across iOS, Android, and other platforms.
Developers should use Cordova Config.xml when creating cross-platform mobile apps with Cordova to centralize app configuration and ensure consistency across builds. It is essential for setting app permissions, defining splash screens, configuring plugins, and managing platform-specific settings, streamlining the development and deployment process. Use it to avoid manual configuration in multiple places and maintain app metadata in a single, version-controlled file.
