-------------------------------------------
Summary: Why different "handling" for platform specific options /
build params / flags in iOS and Android?
Key: CB-13442
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13442
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: cordova-android, cordova-docs, cordova-ios
Reporter: Jan Piotrowski (Sujan)
Assignee: Joe Bowser
Priority: Trivial
For Android signing flags, at other places (CLI docs) referred to as "platform
options", we have examples like this:
{code}
cordova run android --release -- --keystore=../my-release-key.keystore
--storePassword=password --alias=alias_name --password=password
{code}
Source:
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/#using-flags
Note the additional `--` that seperates
`--keystore` etc from the rest.
But for iOS we have this example:
{code}
cordova build --device --buildFlag="MYSETTING=myvalue"
--buildFlag="MY_OTHER_SETTING=othervalue"
{code}
Source:
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/ios/index.html#xcode-build-flags
`--buildFlag`is clearly a platform specific option as it is not listed on
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-cli/index.html#cordova-build-command
Why does this not need an additional `--`?
Also, there are no examples (that I could find) for the iOS platform specific
params in the CLI docs and general docs, they are only listed here:
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/ios/index.html#using-flags
How would these have to be separated from the actual command?
----
No matter what the result, I think 2 things should happen in the docs:
1. Naming of these params should be unified and crosslinked so it is clear that
this is the same thing. I wasn't really clear about this until now. Are there
more?
2. There should also be examples for the iOS platform specific params / flags
