Braden Shepherdson commented on CB-1893:
----------------------------------------

The code I checked in, which is now tagged, is expecting config.xml only. It 
wouldn't be terribly hard to support plists too, but I agree that a clean 
change is less confusing.

I think a conversion script is overkill, it only takes about three to convert 
one to the other (30 seconds if you vim macros like a boss) and plenty of 
people will be able to grab the example config.xml and tweak one or two 
settings rather than converting their whole thing.

The current state of error messages is less than ideal. Currently if you try to 
build but have no config.xml, you just get an Xcode error message about the 
missing file :( I'm not sure how we can improve that. Our users are used to 
looking at our release notes, featuring this prominently and pointing to a 
guide to converting should sort things out.

Are there more docs that need updating?

> Just like Android switched, iOS should also use a config.xml file that 
> follows the same format.
> Bonus points for writing a script to convert a .plist -> config.xml, but this 
> is not strictly necessary.
