Description

console.log works by default on Android and Windows (if I am not mistaken). But an app developer would have to add cordova-plugin-console for console.log to work on iOS. I am not sure about any of the other platforms such as Blackberry, Browser, etc.This can become an extra time waster when in case an app developer is stuck with troubleshooting, especially when facing a critical deadline (which is common for mobile apps).

I wish the Cordova CLI would install the cordova-plugin-console by default, like it does for the cordova-plugin-whitelist. I already noted this at: https://github.com/jessemonroy650/top-phonegap-mistakes/issues/7
