Acording to latest docs, you should not be including platforms nor plugins folders on version control: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-cli/#version-control

So this gitignore can be greatly simplified

to exclude platforms folder makes no sense if you have modified/additional code imho

It is a hit or miss sorta thing. One is supposed to be able to have the config file inject your changes but that doesn't cover every scenerio. I think I am gonna keep it this way and I can have a fork that does the platform and plugins folder.

platforms/android/assets/www Is no longer correct, it is under platforms/android/app/src/main/assets/www now

thx for the heads up, I'll get it updated shortly
