----------------------------

             Summary: Remove unused res folder from app template
                 Key: CB-14098
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-14098
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: cordova-app-hello-world
    Affects Versions: 3.11.0
            Reporter: Raphael


The resĀ folder weighs around 10MiB and contains resources for a whole lot of 
platforms, most of which are actually deprecated. Furthermore, as I understand 
the included `README.md` (which I'm not sure I do), the contents of this folder 
seem to not even being used for anything.

So my proposalĀ is to remove this directory from the template. That would 
decrease the installation size of `cordova` by about two thirds and remove 
unnecessary clutter from any newly created apps.

If I did get anything wrong and this is actually used, we should probably 
clarify the README, remove all content related to deprecated platforms (like 
suggested in CB-13726) and run them through some compressors (pngquant and 
zopflipng).
