Description

When trying to install android platform on top of the plugin with the following line in its `plugin.xml`

<dependency id="cordova-plugin-device" url="https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-device" />

Getting the following error:

Installing "cordova-plugin-geolocation-tests" for ios
Failed to install 'cordova-plugin-geolocation-tests': CordovaError: Version of installed plugin: "cordova-plugin-device@1.1.6-dev" does not satisfy dependency plugin requirement "cordova-plugin-device@". Try --force to use installed plugin as dependency.
