The preferred answer is correct but has the drawback to be native, i. e. you have to modify the Info*.plist after cordova prepare.

If you want to stick with the Cordova's style (which i recommend), you can use a hook or a plugin for this.

I did it with a plugin because a plugin has (from scratch) the ability to modify the native configuration's files (AndroidManifest.xml or Info*.plist).

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/27947343/2728710

What I've done :

• make a new specific plugin name "cordova-plugin-config-ios"

localPlugins/cordova-plugin-config-ios/plugin.xml

• make a hook add-local-plugins.sh. In it, install the specific plugin made

add-local-plugins.sh

echo "Install specific plugin for modify Info*.plist"
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-config-ios --searchpath ${projectDir}/localPlugins/cordova-plugin-config-ios

• call the hook via config.xml

config.xml

In my case, the hook was not mandatory but I like the freedom brought by it and to be able to log what the program did (echo part).
