cordova edit-config not updating AndroidManifest.xml












0















I am trying to update the AndroidManifest.xml file with the following in config.xml:



<platform name="android">
<edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application">
<application android:icon="@mipmap/appicons" android:roundIcon="@mipmap/appicons_round" />
</edit-config>
</platform>


and it doesn't update anything. I tried to remove the full path and just leave it as file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" and that's also not working. I am using command line with Android 7.0.0 and I'm absolutely lost.



Both config.xml and AndroidManifest.xml pass XML tests.



If I update AndroidManifest.xml manually with the changes, the app runs fine and all changes are visible, but I believe that's not the proper way of doing it.



I am completely lost..



UPDATE:
Could it be related to this?

          Found the solution! <edit-config apparently cannot be inside the <platform></platform> tags. It has to be outside of it and it will work. Like this:



          <edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application">
          <application android:icon="@mipmap/appicons" android:roundIcon="@mipmap/appicons_round" />
          </edit-config>

          <platform name="android">
          ...
          </platform>


          Hope this helps someone else save a few hours.
