We are happy to announce that cordova-app-hello-world@7.0.0 has been released. This is the default app template used when creating a new Cordova App project though Cordova CLI.

Release Highlights

The most notable changes in this release were:

  • Setting the body element's box-sizing to border-box to avoid the safe-area-inset padding that caused scrolling issues
  • Disabled the overscroll behavior of the root element to remove rubber-banding effects.
  • Used modern, unprefixed CSS directives.
  • Updated default template's package ID to org.apache.cordova.hellocordova.

Changes include:

Fixes:

  • GH-98 fix(css): Fix extra padding causing scrolling

Chores:

  • GH-99 chore: updated defaults, license headers & added release audit workflow
  • GH-78 chore: correct access inline comment
