Hey folks,
I'm an iOS/Android developer and am currently wrapping a 3rd party =
Native SDK(iOS && Android) in a Cordova plugin for a client.

I'll use iOS as my examples here, but the same principles apply to the =
Android build.
The SDK assumes that there is a file called config.plist, when the SDK =
is instantiated it loads up it's API keys, and a variety of style =
elements(colors etc) for use by the SDK.=20

I'd like to find a way to generate this file from the config.xml and/or =
the plugin.xml, but I cannot seem to find an interface to do this within =
the Cordova eco-system? The config-file element in the plugin.xml only =
appears to work on certain files(or I'm missing something pretty =
simple).

Any advise anyone can provide would be great, otherwise, the devs =
integrating the plugin will need to open the native projects and edit =
these files, which isn't ideal.

And please before anyone asks, no I am not the author of the SDK, and =
no, there is no programatic way to set any of these variables(which I =
agree is stupid, alas that's how it's been designed).

Thanks in advance,
Cameron
