Description

When I put a BackupWebStorage setting in my config.xml, "$ cordova build" leaves the ios/cordova/defaults.xml entry ('cloud') at the top of the resulting iOS/<appname>/config.xml file, so there are two BackupWebStorage entries in it after building.

Does this break the "Validity constraint: No Duplicate Types" constraint in the XML spec?

In any case, on my system it seems to be obeying the default rule rather than the one from the config.xml file, so following the documentation at https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/ios/config.html seems to be futile.
