Icon incorrectly assumed to be in www/ directory

[Robert Schroll]

If you specify "<icon src='res/icon.png' />" in your config.xml file, the Ubuntu build process tries to find "www/res/icon.png". In contrast, the Android build process looks for "res/icon.png". The Cordova docs [1] specify the latter: "src: (required) specifies the location of the image file, relative to your project directory".

Note that the behaviour differs depending on the Ubuntu release:

- Ubuntu 14.10: the icon is searched on $PROJECTDIR
- Ubuntu 15.04: the icon is searched on $PROJECTDIR/www

The behaviour of finding the icon is dependant on the cordova version installed. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cordova-ubuntu/+bug/1455905/comments/5

Upstream decided that the icon in the config.xml should be relative to the root directory of the app. This seems like a good solution.
Cordova-Ubuntu has been updated to reflect that change and work consistenly with the click package reviewers tool.

The latest version of cordova-ubuntu has this fixed now : https://github.com/Zaspire/cordova-ubuntu/commit/b7621b35cc7930fdfda6015647366e1e43b6e77d

To fix the problem in your project, you should:
1. remove the cached cordova-ubuntu code: rm -rf ~/.cordova
2. uninstall Ubuntu from your project: cordova platform rm ubuntu
3. re-install the Ubuntu platform support code: cordova platform add ubuntu
