Steve Gill commented on CB-11290:
---------------------------------

Are you suggesting removing the version from those other places and pulling it from package.json when needed?

> 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.
> The proposed approach is to store version in {{package.json}}
