phonegap and cordova completely ignore my config.xml file

[MY TROBO]

Recently I could no longer upgrade phonegap's ios platform to the latest version.  So I went down the road of upgrading phonegap, cordova, npm, and node.

Now, no matter what I try, I cannot get phonegap or cordova to build my ios platform directory with anything but the HelloCordova app.

My app's SVN tree is successfully building on teammate's systems in other locations, but my "latest and greatest" system seems to be completely ignoring my config.xml file.

My question - has something changed in cordova or phonegap in recent months that has completely changed how it uses or looks for config.xml?  If not, any other ideas are appreciated.  I'll try anything, as I'm currently boat-anchored, and I can't find any documentation of someone else with this issue.

Here is my version info.  Also noticed that phonegap and cordova tell me they have registered my plugins.  But when I look into the platform directory, all I see are the HelloCordova www files and the plugins directory is empty.  I've completely unistalled and reinstalled all the tools listed below, and I am using Xcode 7.

npm -v

3.3.6

node -v

v5.0.0

cordova -v

5.3.3

phonegap -v

5.3.6

P.S. I've tried cordova prepare ios, phonegap prepare ios, and cordova build ios, and phonegap build ios, and cordova run ios and phoengap run ios.

What versions of npm, node, cordova, etc., do your teammates have? Might be useful information to have.

Ok, this is resolved now.  I did it by downgrading my npm and node installs to 2.14.7 and 4.2.2 respectively by going to https://nodejs.org/en/ and installing the 4.2.2. LTS. 

Makes me wonder what will happen when the 5.0.0 release hits.

Thanks!

there are a few issues with node 5 and cordova.
I think they have been resolved already, but not released yet.
