# Bug Report ## Problem Can not include `& ` in the cordova app name without causing a build failure to occur when strings.xml is created. ### What is expected to happen? If I have properly escaped the & in the config.xml, it should also apply to the strings.xml. ### What does actually happen? It seems the `&` is converted back to `&` when strings xml is created, perhaps in prepare.js. This causes the cordova add command to fail. ## Information Given the following config.xml ``` <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <widget id="xxx.xxx.xxxx" version="6.2.2" android-versionCode="622000062" versionCode="62" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"; xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; xmlns:gap="http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0";> <name>TIMING & TRACKING</name> <description> Timing APP </description> ``` ### Command or Code Run the command to create the cordova project ``` cordova platform add [email protected] Using cordova-fetch for [email protected] Adding android project...
