gulp config --getVersion
returns 0.0.1
when config.xml looks like this:

<widget id="com.company.project" version="0.0.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">

What we should do on jenkins it something like this:

OUTPUT="$(gulp config --getVersion)"
gulp --cordova 'prepare ios' --buildVars=${OUTPUT}

I tested it with this command

OUTPUT="$(echo 'version:1.0.0')"
gulp --cordova 'prepare ios' --buildVars=${OUTPUT}

And it worked :) only problem was, I had to add 'version:' to the output because everything inside the quotes in --buildVars="" was not interpreted as variable. But maybe there is a way around that one as well

Maybe this is more related to #183 as we thought.

Because jenkins has to manipulate the android-versionCode right now.
With this method we can only get the version="0.0.1"

@MathiasTim, I was having some thoughts about this issue and I took the liberty to revamp the gulp config task. I think it's much more flexible now and you'll be able to perform all the necessary tasks easily.

Feedback please :)
