Actually, There are some cases that we need to change metadata of app based on build system and environment variables. It is useful and sometimes required. I list some scenarios in my project for the example: 1. We create app version number by the environment variable CI_JOB_ID which is created by gitlab CI system; 2. We need update app name and icon by different environments in compile time. For example, for my one environment called 'DTMK' , i need change app name as 'DTMK-my-app-name'; 3. Some security key or ids also need to be updated in compile time by different environments. I googled and noticed there are persons achieved that by creating a temp_config file and copy it in hooks to replace config.xml, but i think that let the cordova-common lib to support the feature is more directly so this is why my commit. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
