Description

Trying to use the edit-config tag in config.xml to add to the iOS Info.plist file:

<edit-config file="*-Info.plist" target="LSApplicationQueriesSchemes" mode="merge">
    <array>
        <string>foo</string>
    </array>
</edit-config>

It's giving me an error in xml_helpers.js:

Error: TypeError: doc.find is not a function

This seems to happen because plist files are turned into JS objects when they are parsed, rather than XML documents like AndroidManifest.xml or config.xml.
