The <platform name="windows8"> in plugin.xml is there for older windows8 projects that have not been updated. In some of the above cases, if there is a windows8+windows src or www folder it could be that they have differences in the code. ie. 'windows8' => windows 8.0 and 'windows' => windows 8.1 so there are also platform API differences. @purplecabbage risingj.com On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 11:49 AM, Staci Cooper <staci....@gmail.com> wrote: > Why does the device plugin have both a src/windows and a src/windows8 > folder?
