PhoneGap 8.0.0 Now on PhoneGap Build, iOS upgraded to XCode 9.2

PhoneGap 8.0.0 is now available on PhoneGap Build. This version updates only the Android platform — although it is a major version bump for Cordova Android from 6.3.0 to 7.0.0. Cordova iOS and Cordova Windows versions remain the same from the previous release (7.1.0).

To upgrade, change the phonegap-version in your config.xml file to cli-8.0.0. Here is the version breakdown and release notes:

• Cordova Android 7.0.0 (release notes) (blog post)
• Cordova iOS 4.5.4 (release notes)
• Cordova Windows 5.0.0 (release notes)

If you’re upgrading to this version, be sure to check out Joe Bowser’s Cordova Android 7.0.0 blog post for details on the new version.

iOS and XCode 9.2

In addition we recently updated our iOS build servers to XCode 9.2, which will complete support for iOS 11.

Also noteworthy is the new iTunes marketing image which can be added to your config.xml like so (don’t forget to add the icon file itself as well):

<icon src="res/ios/icon-1024.png" width="1024" height="1024" />

As usual if you have any trouble or find any issues, head to the community forum.
