Description

IBM has a future requirement to support Asset Catalog for App icons and splash screens in our downstream distribution (MobileFirst) of Cordova.

Enterprise use cases:
Leverage Catalog Assets to manage splash screens and app icons, instead of using deprecated methods.

Tasks:

• Modify Xcode project structure for Cordova to use Asset Catalog
• Modify Cordova CLI to manage icons and spashscreens my managing Asset Catalog content.

IBM has intention on working on this changes in Cordova, but if someone else wants to work on it before we get to it that also works for us
