[CB-13507] git+https or git+ssh fails when trying to install

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Fixed
• Affects Version/s: 7.0.2
• Fix Version/s: 8.0.0
• Component/s: cordova-fetch, cordova-lib

Environment

I am selecting 7.0.2 since it's the closest but I am running cordova 7.1.0
OS: Mac OS X Sierra.

Although I don't think it has anything to do with cordova-ios and cordova-android, my platform versions are:

• android 6.3.0
• ios 4.5.2

Description

I start with adding plugin dependencies with https://...... on package.json (no plugin references on config.xml) and no platforms or plugins installed then I run "cordova platform ios".
It installs the plugins without any problem, but changes config.xml and package.json plugin references from https to git+https, and ssh to git+ssh.

Failed to restore plugin "cordova-plugin-document-viewer" from config.xml. You might need to try adding it again. Error: Failed to fetch plugin git+https://github.com/kas84/cordova-plugin-document-viewer.git via registry
