Cordova - config.xml File

Advertisements

The config.xml file is the place where we can change the configuration of the app. When we created our app in the last tutorial, we set reverse domain and name. The values can be changed in the config.xml file. When we create the app, the default config file will also be created.

The following table explains configuration elements in config.xml.

2	name The name of the app that we specified when creating the app.
