PhoneGap config.xml not working in PhoneGap Build

Question

I initially created a web app (HTML, CSS, jQuery) without PhoneGap or Cordova. I used PhoneGap Build to build the app. Everything worked as expected.

However, I then installed PhoneGap, and adjusted my project's structure to work with PhoneGap. Now my config.xml file lives at the root, and the app lives in www.

I also used the config.xml file that PhoneGap creates when using the CLI, and removed the config.xml file I initially created when using PhoneGap Build's settings.

Since doing this, it seems that PhoneGap Build does not respect my config.xml file.

I've tried the following:

1. Adding the config.xml file to the www directory in addition to keeping it at the root level.
2. Only keeping the config.xml file in the www directory.
3. Using the original config.xml file I created with PhoneGap Build in both the www and root directories.

Also, I am running PhoneGap 5.0.0-0.28.1. However, on PhoneGap Build it says I'm running 3.3.0

@Stephen, On the versioning, you are likely setting your Phonegap Build version in your config.xml.

The issue you have with the actual location of the config.xml is a bug. I recently added this to the Google group. The bug is #522. It appears your bug is a variation on this same bug.
