Prepares your Cordova project.

The Step prepares your Cordova project by calling cordova prepare and copying files into platform(s), making the project ready to be built.

Configuring the Step

Make sure the selected platform (iOS, Android, or both) matches your project in the Platform to use in cordova-cli commands Step input.
The Cordova version input can be used to install a specific version of Cordova. By default the pre-installed version will be used which can differ from stack to stack. Check the current stack images here.
For the Working directory input, make sure you have your config.xml file at the root of your repository, or in case it's located elsewhere, make sure this input points to that directory.
Caching can be enabled for node_modules provided you have the Cache Pull and Cache Push Steps set up.

Troubleshooting

Make sure your platforms are added to your config.xml & package.json before running cordova prepare as that is a prerequisite of running this command.
