VS Cordova：有什么方法可以根据所选配置来应用不同的config.xml设置？

Question

I need to use different app IDs, since was given two provisioning profiles for com.myapp and com.beta.myapp. For now I have to change widget:id in config.xml every time I change the current configuration from Debug to Release and vice versa. Can this be automated? I know I can tweak .jsproj by implementing a BeforeBuild/BuildDependsOn handler, even using web.config transformations. Is there a simpler, preferably built-in way to do the same thing?

Note: customizing node.js and/or VS files is not an option, as I prefer modifying files that are part of the project repository to be able to store and distribute the changes along with codebase.

The issue has been resolved.

First off, create the following files in res\\native\\ios\\cordova:

// build.xcconfig
// The file contains general iOS settings, e.g.
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = <your iOS identity>

// build-debug.xcconfig
// The file contains beta specific iOS settings
#include "build.xcconfig"
BUNDLE_ID = com.your.app.beta
PROVISIONING_PROFILE = <profile GUID>

// build-release.xcconfig
// The file contains release specific iOS settings
#include "build.xcconfig"
BUNDLE_ID = com.your.app
PROVISIONING_PROFILE = <profile GUID>

See Build Settings Reference for complete list of supported settings. Note that the BUNDLE_ID is a custom constant that is explained below.

If you want to have the files grouped together in Solution Explorer, just edit your .jsproj file as follows:

<Content Include="res\native\ios\cordova\build.xcconfig" />
<Content Include="res\native\ios\cordova\build-debug.xcconfig">
  <DependentUpon>build.xcconfig</DependentUpon>
</Content>
<Content Include="res\native\ios\cordova\build-release.xcconfig">
  <DependentUpon>build.xcconfig</DependentUpon>
</Content>

Finally, edit your config.xml as follows:

<widget ... id="com.your.app" ios-CFBundleIdentifier="$(BUNDLE_ID)">
    ...
</widget>

This will set the iOS bundle ID to whatever value you assigned in the target .xcconfig.

A Cordova hook might be a way to accomplish this. Here is an article on how Cordova hooks work. You might want to have write up a before_prepare hook and update the config.xml before the native platform is prepared and compiled.
