Description

Hi,

I wanted to upgrade an cordova-cli 2.5 generated project tree (with ios and android platforms) to the latest cordova-cli 2.6 version.

I somehow managed to do this by reading http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.6.0/guide_upgrading_index.md.html#Upgrading%20Guides after upgrading my npm cordova package ("npm -g update cordova"), but file paths and a few details are not 100% identical, and I end up being not sure I did everything correctly. (Although both patforms compile correctly)

Is there some kind of upgrade guide somewhere, that explains this task? In my case, it's hard do delete both platforms and recreate them, since boths contain native plugins. But if it's the way to go, it is not such a big deal eiter...

A "cordova platform update ios" or "cordova platform update android" would be great. Any chance we can have that one day?

Best regards,

Philippe
