We are using cordova CLI interface(3.5.0) to build locally as well as phonegap build in the cloud to build easily for all platforms. I feel like this is complicated to have an efficient build process that works well for both building interfaces.
Please correct me if I am wrong or suggest me something better to manage Icon and SplashScreen for both local and remote builds
1. Local builds
We use cordova tool to build our application for iOS and Android. According to the documentation
Icons:
When working in the CLI you can define app icon(s) via element (config.xml).
<icon src="res/ios/icon.png" platform="ios" width="57" height="57" density="mdpi" />
SplashScreen:
Again, according to the documentation:
Use the Splashscreen API to enable display of an app's introductory splash screen on many platforms. When working in the CLI, splash screen source files are located within the project's www/res/screens subdirectory.
It clearly mention www/res/screens folder, but just below it says the following:
Place 9-patch image files in the Android project's platforms/android/res/drawable* directories.
2. Phonegap builds(in the cloud)
For phonegap build, it seems fairly easy, we just add some tag in the config.xml, and put all our icons/splashscreen in res/icon/{platform} folder
<icon gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="ldpi" src="res/icon/android/icon-36-ldpi.png" />
<gap:splash gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="port-ldpi" src="res/screen/android/screen-ldpi-portrait.png" />
Questions
Local build / Icons
Do they mean www/res folder or platform/android/res folder ? If it is in platform, it means that i need some kind of hooks to copy icons in the correct folder like this as I want to have my icons and splashscreen into my source control. Is there some kind of best practice?
Local build / SplashScreen
Can you please clarify if it is www/res or platform/android/res/drawable ?
phonegap build
Am i correct ?
