             Summary: Permits to override/customize config.xml settings with CLI build/run commands
                 Key: CB-9607
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9607
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: CLI
    Affects Versions: 5.1.1
            Reporter: Sebastien Lorber





I'm using a Cordova plugin for Intercom.
Intercom is a SaaS service we use to track users. 
They provide us 2 API keys, one for dev, and one for prod, because we don't want to melt test users with real users.


I use the plugin with something like:

{code}
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-intercom"                  spec="1.0.8"  >
        <variable name="APP_ID" value="prodKey..." />
    </plugin>
{code}



The problem is that currently, when I want to build the app for testing, I have to manually edit the config.xml file everytime to change the prodKey to devKey, and then relaunch cordova build android


I have seen the platform options attributes of the build command (not really documented, a bit mentionned here CB-6024), but it does not seem to be what I look for.


Some suggestions for a solution:

{code}
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-intercom"                  spec="1.0.8"  >
        <variable name="APP_ID" value="$INTERCOM_API_KEY:defaultValue" />
    </plugin>
{code}

cordova build android -> will use "defaultValue"
cordova build android --INTERCOM_API_KEY="overrideValue" -> will use "overrideValue"


Another idea:

{code}
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-intercom"                  spec="1.0.8"  >
        <variable name="APP_ID" debugValue="devKey" releaseValue="prodKey" />
    </plugin>
{code}

cordova build android --debug -> will use "devKey"
cordova build android -- release -> will use "prodKey"
