We are happy to announce that cordova-common@6.0.0 has been released. This is one of the libraries used behind-the-scenes by nearly all of the Cordova tooling and provides utilities for dealing with things like config.xml parsing.

Release Highlights

The most notable changes in this major release were:

• Removal of superspawn, which also dropped the npm dependencies q and cross-spawn.
• Update to the <resource-file> directive to allow directories and their contents to be copied.
• Update to the <config-file> and <edit-config> directives to support finding unprefixed Info.plist files.
• Increase in the Node.js engine requirement to >=20.9.0.
