Get config.xml file of Cordova applications using Androguard

Question

Is it possible to get the config.xml file that is generated by Cordova based applications using Adroguard?
I cannot find it under the /res folder and it is not listed in the output of get_files() method.
apktool, on the other hand, is able to get the config.xml from the apk that is use it on.

Since it is under res folder, You need to get it by unzipping the file to a temporary directory and then parse it using Axml parser. In get_files(), you must see "resources.arsc" file. The res files are part of that. You can do something like :

config_xml_path = os.path.join(<your apk unzipped path>, 'res', 'xml', 'config.xml')
with io.open(config_xml_path, 'rb') as axml_file:
   parsed_axml_file = AXMLPrinter(axml_file.read())
   axml_content = parsed_axml_file.get_buff().decode('utf-8)
   parsed_axml = minidom.parseString(axml_content.encode('utf-8'))

You might get some errors if the config.xml is badly formatted but I am not including the solution to handle those case. I hope you will get an idea with the above example.
