Documenting platform release procedures

[Filip Maj <fi...@adobe.com>]

Hey all,

Question: should cordova documentation provide any level of guidance to
users on how to create a release version of an application (as opposed to
the default debug version that the CLI tooling, for example, creates) that
is submittable to an app store?

My answer: yes. At the least, a single top level guide in the docs
("Releasing An App") that simply includes links to the appropriate
platform-specific documentation on the procedure.

Would like to hear everyone's thoughts, and, if there is consensus, create
a task in JIRA / add a new guide to the docs.

Thanks,
Fil

store using PhoneGap recently.

I'm in favour of a short Documentation Guide that directs users to each
platform's documentation on building and submitting a distribution of their
application. I think we should avoid documenting each platform's process,
because the actual process is out of our control. However, in the future we
could expand to include suggestions to avoid app rejections.
