So you developed your app and neglected your config.xml? If you are as impatient as me then your app might still showing up as HelloCordova on your devices/emulators. Updating your config is apparently not enough because your platform builds still contain references to the old app meta data.

Example for ios - spot the culprits!

The solution is to rebuild each platform via cordova platform remove <platform> and cordova platform add <platform>. You should do this generally after every significant change in your config.xml.

#list
cordova platform ls
...
# remove
cordova platform remove ios
cordova platform remove android
# add
cordova platform add ios
cordova platform add android

After this:

  • you might need to rebuild your app icons and splash screens
  • re-import your project in xcode (if ios)
