Config.xml
Config.xml is a global configuration file that controls many aspects of a cordova application's behavior. This platform-agnostic XML file is arranged based on the W3C's Packaged Web Apps (Widgets) specification, and extended to specify core Cordova API features, plugins, and platform-specific settings.
For projects created with the Cordova CLI (described in The Command-Line Interface), this file can be found in the top-level directory:
app/config.xml
Note that before version 3.3.1-0.2.0, the file existed at app/www/config.xml, and that having it here is still supported.
When using the CLI to build a project, versions of this file are passively copied into various platforms/ subdirectories. For example:
app/platforms/ios/AppName/config.xml app/platforms/blackberry10/www/config.xml app/platforms/android/res/xml/config.xml
In addition to the various configuration options detailed below, you can also configure an application's core set of images for each target platform. See Customize icons topic for more information.
