preference name="target-device" value="handset" not working

Hello,

After upgrading to the IntelXDK build 3088 my additions.xml file setting for target-device set to handset seems to be ignored as iTunes connect is complaining I need to upload iPad screenshots.
 
Additions.xml file setting:
<preference name="target-device" value="handset" />
 
When I look at the build log I can see the following:
 --target-device iphone --target-device ipad --minimum-deployment-target 8.0 
 
Not sure if I'm missing something new or the backend build service has issues. Does anyone have a solution for this?
 
Thanks in advance :-)

Please make sure you are putting 

<preference name="target-device" value="handset" /> 

under the 

<platform name="ios"> tag.

Hi Swati,

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried what you suggested for the additions.xml file but it didn't work:

<platform name="ios"><preference name="target-device" value="handset" /></platform>

I also tried:


<!-- +iOS --><preference name="target-device" value="handset" />

Both still produce 
--target-device iphone --target-device ipad in the output logs.

I noticed in my intelxdk.config.ios.xml file I have two <platform name="ios"> xml nodes:

1. <platform name="ios"><preference name="Orientation" value="portrait"/></platform>

2. <platform name="ios"><preference name="target-device" value="handset"/></platform>

Not sure if this is having any impact. Is there anything else you could suggest?

Thanks

Francesco

Thank you Francesco for creating this post. Paul was able to duplicate the problem. It seems to be a Cordova bug, but we are trying to find a work around. Please see: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-xdk/topic/549481#comment-1866851

Francesco -- the issue is still under investigation and is marked as a "must-fix" for our next release. It is definitely a Cordova bug, a patch for the Cordova problem has not been identified at this time.
