Building a Windows 10 (UWP) with PhoneGap?

I have read that you can make a Windows 10 UWP app using PhoneGap. However, I have not been able to find any other information on this. No documentation, no examples of other apps that have been built. Nothing.

Does anyone else know if you can build UWP apps with PhoneGap? If so, where can any information or documentation be found? Also, if anyone knows of any UWP apps that have been built this way that I could check out would be helpful too.

Yes you can!

According to the docs you'll have to add following line to your config.xml:

<preference name="windows-target-version" value="10.0" />

Afterwards cordova build windows should create UWP apps.

If you want to specify the target at each build command you can use the --appx parameter like so:

cordova build windows -- --appx=uap

The docs say following about possible values for the --appx parameter:

Valid values for the --appx flag are 8.1-win, 8.1-phone, and uap (for Windows 10 Universal Apps). These options also apply to the cordova run command.
