In Cordova, how can I specify different package names for ios and android? [duplicate]

This is now built into CLI (finally):

In you your config.xml file-

Example:

<widget    android-packageName="com.example.android"    ios-CFBundleIdentifier="com.example.ios">

Source:

https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/master/cordova-lib/src/configparser/ConfigParser.js#L92

Edit: (Cordova-Lib has since been moved)

https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/master/cordova-common/src/ConfigParser/ConfigParser.js#L109

A way to automate this is by adding in an after prepare hook. I started out with the example of how to Replace Text Depending on Environment from here: http://devgirl.org/2013/11/12/three-hooks-your-cordovaphonegap-project-needs/.

I've got a project.json in my project that specifies what id I want to use for each platform:

{     "android":     {        "app_id": "<my Android Package name>"    },    "ios":     {        "app_id": "<my iOS Bundle Identifier>"    }}

Then in the /hooks directory I have an /after_prepare directory with a replace_text.js as follows:

#!/usr/bin/env node// this plugin replaces arbitrary text in arbitrary files//var fs = require("fs");var path = require("path");var rootdir = process.argv[2];function replace_string_in_file(filename, to_replace, replace_with) {    var data = fs.readFileSync(filename, "utf8");    var result = data.replace(to_replace, replace_with);    fs.writeFileSync(filename, result, "utf8");}function update_app_id(rootdir, platform, configobj) {    var appId = configobj[platform].app_id,        stringToReplace = "<value of the widget id property in the config.xml>";    if (platform === "android") {        replace_string_in_file(path.join(rootdir, "platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml"), stringToReplace, appId);        replace_string_in_file(path.join(rootdir, "platforms/android/res/xml/config.xml"), stringToReplace, appId);    } else if (platform === "ios") {        replace_string_in_file(path.join(rootdir, "platforms/ios/<app name>/<app name>-Info.plist"), stringToReplace, appId);        replace_string_in_file(path.join(rootdir, "platforms/ios/<app name>/config.xml"), stringToReplace, appId);    }}if (rootdir) {    var ourconfigfile = path.join(rootdir, "project.json");    var configobj = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(ourconfigfile, "utf8"));    // Update each platform's specific configuration/properties files    update_app_id(rootdir, "android", configobj);    update_app_id(rootdir, "ios", configobj);}

Please make sure to replace the values indicated with < > brackets with the values that pertain to your app/project.

Note: This has not been tested, but i think it should work.

After creating a new IOS platform in Cordova CLI, Edit the package name in the files below.

app/platforms/ios/<APP_NAME>/config.xmlapp/platforms/ios/www/config.xml

To avoid an ugly complication, i suggest you try this first in a different Git Branch of your project.
