Hi Gandhi,

There is an issue with this repo in that cordova-js uses a jasmine-node
version that depends on a non-secure version of growl.  This is not a
trivial fix as moving to the recommended jasmine-node@2.0.1 is a breaking
change.
I am not completely of the mind that updating is the right approach here,
as I think in many ways the cordova-js project is outdated, and the whole
process of generating platform specific cordova.js files needs to be
rethought.

Personally, this does not block me ... I do the following:
⚡ npm i
audited 684 packages in 2.085s
found 1 critical severity vulnerability
  run `npm audit fix` to fix them, or `npm audit` for details

⚡ npx grunt
... succeeds

⚡ npx grunt compile:windows
Running "compile:windows" (compile) task
generated cordova.windows.js @ 243e7aac8cee0108927df0253118e36857ab9fc7 in
5ms
Done.

The typical way a platform is released is to use cordova-coho.
ex. `coho prepare-platform-release-branch -r cordova-android --version
9.9.9`
This takes care of all the tagging, building/copying of cordova.js to the
correct platform folder.

About the mobile-spec workflow, I have not done this is a long time, this
was more important when we were breaking things a lot.  One expectation of
the tooling that may not be explicitly listed is that all repos are
expected to be cloned as peers.  cordova-coho has commands that can help
manage the multitude of repos for you.

Not sure if this helps you move forward, I am happy to dig into this more
with you.

Cheers,
  Jesse
