Janson Hartliep commented on CB-4284:
-------------------------------------

With a fresh install of cordova 3.0.0-rc1-3, I created a new project and the 
generated www/config.xml file: 
https://gist.github.com/janson/c39d393b89a8e99b0716

Editing each of the supported elements, I changed values for name, id, version, 
access origin, and the two preferences: 
https://gist.github.com/janson/61b242d56b9ca5ac49c7

(Worth noting that the official documentation for command-cli doesn't mention 
support for description or author.)

Then running adding the ios platform and building it.

- The platforms/ios/www/config.xml is identical to the root one. 
- So is platforms/ios/build/www/config.xml.

The problems are in the app's packaged config.xml and the plist

- The packaged config.xml copies over the access origin and preference values. 
But *fails* to use the id, version, name, description, etc: 
https://gist.github.com/janson/a95cec5e1c6f00a5b49e

- The generated Info.plist does consume the id, version, name… but no 
preferences as far as I can tell: http://d.pr/i/FCbX

It's also worth noting that there are four config.xml files in the platform 
folders.

$ find . -iname "config.xml"
./platforms/ios/build/Cool App.app/config.xml
./platforms/ios/build/Cool App.app/www/config.xml
./platforms/ios/Cool App/config.xml
./platforms/ios/www/config.xml 

Finally, regarding the different uiwebviewbounce, I'm wondering if that's a 
crufty bug given some of Adobe's phonegap work? The docs for "extra" config.xml 
preferences are here https://build.phonegap.com/docs/config-xml

> The larger question is *how* to use config.xml, given a huge disconnect 
> between cordova and phonegap as well as changing config.xml on each point 
> version. 
> Possible documentation sources which all differ?!
> * https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-start/blob/master/www/config.xml
> * https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/blob/master/templates/config.xml
> * https://build.phonegap.com/docs/config-xml
> Steps to Reproduce:
> * create a project with cordova-cli
> * change www/config.xml
> * add a platform
> * build the platform
> Result: platform specific config.xml only sort of but not really uses any 
> values from www/config.xml
> I will attach what I'm trying to do, but even simple things like the name and 
> description don't get compiled!
