Filip Maj commented on CB-11581:
--------------------------------

I know there is some appetite for the different-environment use case you 
present.

Having multiple config.xml's opens up a whole new can of worms: when issuing 
cordova commands (platform/plugin ones, for example), you'd have to have the 
ability to specify against which config.xml (or both / all?). Lots of potential 
pitfalls here to think through.

I think first the idea needs to be more fleshed out and a vision for the 
workflow needs to be articulated.

> It would be awesome if it was possible to set target configuration. This 
> would interact with the build-related tools, which would expect (possibly) 
> different targets, instead of assuming a single target. This could be used by 
> some people to maintain within a single project several different 
> environments (i.e. development, qa, production, ...), several different build 
> types (i.e. demo, full, deluxe, ...), and I'm sure many other uses would come 
> up.
> This is a major change, and probably something that needs to be widely 
> discussed before it's implemented, but something like supporting several 
> config.xml (one per target) could be a good start, opening a great new avenue 
> to improve this side of the CLI and Cordova tools in a broader way.
> For instance, if we had two targets (say, dev and prod) and we would like to 
> build them on iOS, the CLI could be called like:
> ```
> $ cordova build ios # for the default target, say dev (and nothing different 
> from current syntax)
> $ cordova build ios:prod # for the production target, defined by 
> prod.config.xml or config.prod.xml, or some other convention/configuration
> ```
