[jira] [Resolved] (CB-2160) cordova_plist_to_config_xml fails inexplicably

["Andrew Grieve (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Andrew Grieve resolved CB-2160.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

The problem was that you had a binary plist instead of a text one. I fixed the script to handle this:

https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-ios.git;a=commit;h=b4c2ca3056bcf72a2717d8c7b34ec91ea25cc644

Do you recall if you did something special to make yours in binary format? Wondering if we should post this as a known-issue somewhere if this is going to be a common thing.

The fix is to run this on the file first:
plutil -convert xml1 Cordova.plist

> Issue CB-1893 has apparently made it so you can update the plist to xml, however the documentation is non-existent, and amounts to the following 1 line in the upgrade guide.
