      Description

      Cordova only looks at the dependencies section of package.json, and ignores anything specified in devDependencies. This results in the default pinned versions for platforms/plugins being used.

      Code in question: https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/da8ebf6cb81dd84c22e24fdf0baff9837a544b2d/src/cordova/platform/addHelper.js#L109-L113

      This is wrong because Cordova (and its related bits) is not a dependency of my application code, it is a build tool that belongs in devDependencies.
