You should definitely have both of these files under version control. package.json is the primary source for specifying dependencies in Cordova 9. Specifying them in config.xml will probably be not supported anymore in Cordova 10. All other application configuration will remain in config.xml.
The duplication is temporary during the migration. Cheers, Raphael Armen Michaeli <armen.micha...@gmail.com> schrieb am So., 21.
