Andrew Grieve resolved CB-4476.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Docs have improved quite a bit since 3.0 in this department. Closing issue.
> Seems to need two copies of config.xml - at least on iOS
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-4476
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4476
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Environment: OS X
> Reporter: Michael Stanford
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: documentation
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> My project appears to need two copies of config.xml:
> - www/config.xml
> - platforms/ios/My App/config.xml
> The documentation
> (https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/2.8.0/guide_project-settings_index.md.html)
> doesn't explain why I need two, and the app appears to compile and work
> correctly when they are identical, although they are different (but with the
> same widget id) when the project is first created. But removing either of
> them causes "$cordova emulate ios" to fail.
> This seems to violate the DRY principle, particularly because it seems easy
> to put different version numbers in them without raising any warnings.
> Maybe it's something to do with the space in the app name?
> Perhaps a documentation change is needed, saying that "platforms/ios/My
> App/config.xml" overrides "www/config.xml"? But if that is the case, it seems
> that for consistency it should be possible to put the over-riding version
> into the merges directory, but I haven't figured out how to override
> "platforms/ios/My App/config.xml" from the merges directory, so again maybe a
> change to the documentation would help.
