Description

I have the following in the plugin.xml file for a custom plugin:

<platform name="ios">
    <config-file target="*-Info.plist" parent="UIBackgroundModes">
        <array>
           <string>location</string>
           <string>voip</string>
        </array>
    </config-file>        
</platform>

However, this does not generate the expected entries in the .plist file. I get:

<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
    <string>location</string>
    <string>voip</string>
    <string>location</string>
    <string>voip</string>
</array>

i.e. elements are repeated. I have tried with a single element in the source plugin.xml and get the same result.

I am using the cordova CLI to manage my plugins, platforms and build.

(p.s. I'm new to Cordova so apologies if this is filed under the incorrect component)
