             Summary: Platform should have single source for its version
                 Key: CB-11290
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11290
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Vladimir Kotikov


Currently every platform has a multiple places where the version is kept and should be updated on every version bump. E.g. for android platform these places are:

- {{package.json}}
- {{VERSION}} plain-text file at the root of the platform's package
- {{version}} executable script in {{bin/templates/cordova/version}} (copied to {{cordova/version}} after platform is added to the project)
- {{CORDOVA_VERSION}} variable in {{framework/src/org/apache/cordova/CordovaWebView.java}}

This variety of version sources is becoming too hard to maintain and may lead to various errors in released packages.
