Description

A new release of platform ios cordova-ios@4.1.0 is published to NPM

User tries to install with $ cordova platform ios@4.1.0

At the time of this command the npm cache information for the pacakge cordova-ios in ~/.cordova/lib/npm_cache/registry.npmjs.org/cordova-ios/.cache.json doesn't have the information about 4.1.0 and the file is not older than 24 hours.

cordova cli is configured with npm cache-min = 3600*24 (24 hours)
If the file in the cache is not older than 24 hours npm will not check the registry. and requested package cordova-ios@4.1.0 is not added to the cache.

There is no err catch for this case in the cordova-lib [1]
