Lets distinguish between "CLI" as (a) one of two potential cordova workflows vs (b) typing commands into a terminal using an easy & documented & unsurprising syntax for users of the cordova tool.
So: How would you release from "the CLI"? (a) The same ways you would using the platform workflow (b) You cannot My point is: its worth simplifying/documenting for (b) but its not like you cannot ever ship an app using the "project workflow" aka "CLI". -Michal On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 11:29 AM, Tommy Williams <to...@devgeeks.org> wrote: > How would you release from the CLI? > > On what platforms? > > In was not aware of any way in the CLI workflow to avoid going into Xcode > (in the case of iOS), or typing 'ant release' (after setting up your > release keys) in the case of Android. > > BB10 does have flags...
