iOS WebViews This guide shows how to embed a Cordova-enabled WebView component within a larger iOS application. For details on how these components can communicate with each other, see Application Plugins.

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

Upgrading Android This guide shows how to modify Android projects to upgrade from older versions of Cordova.
