Should I put the Ionic Platforms folder into source control?

Question

I am building an mobile App using Ionic Framework, and I had added ios and android platforms. I need to regularly update the ios xcode project so I think I should put the platforms folder into git source control. But after I added them, I found many issues occur with the Git, path too long, etc.

But if I don't add platforms folder into Git source control, then there will be risks if I re-add the platform I need to update all the information again inside XCode.

How do you guys manage

Final Solution:

• Not to put the platform folder into Git Source control because it will make the source very big and will cause some errors such as Path too long.

• Configure the config.xml file under the Ionic app root folder so that the XCode project will be updated automatically. For example:

Specially notice the id, version, name, description, etc., configuration values. With these configured, you don't need to update XCode project manually any more.
