How to solve  "malformed config.xml" in PhoneGap Build

Today we are going to learn how to add a plugin into config.xml file for Adobe PhoneGap build.If you  added them wrongly, PhoneGap build will not accept your plugins and give a “malformed config.xml” error.

This is my config.xml file

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<widget id="com.thaalakaz.CordovaAPI"

version="0.0.1"

            xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"

            xmlns:cdv=”http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">

                         

    <name>TestPlugin</name>

    <description>

        A sample Apache Cordova application.

</widget>

Here I am going to add a camera plugin into my application. As the first step I need to add

xmlns:gap   =” http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0 “ into <widget> header .So it will have to look like what is given below:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<widget id="com.thaalakaz.CordovaAPI"

version="0.0.1"

            xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"

            xmlns:cdv=”http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0"

xmlns:gap   = " http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0 ">

Next you can add gap plugin <gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.camera" version="0.2.3" /> before the  </widget>.

Complete code (config.xml)

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<widget id="com.thaalakaz.CordovaAPI"

version="0.0.1"

            xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"

            xmlns:cdv=”http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0"

xmlns:gap   = " http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0 ">

                         

    <name>TestPlugin</name>
