Description

I have a plugin with the following in the plugin.xml:

<config-file target="*-Info.plist" parent="UISupportedExternalAccessoryProtocols">
<array>
<string>com.idblue.r8</string>
</array>
</config-file>

After I install the plugin, then run `cordova build`, I am unfortunately effected by these existing cordova cli issues:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4731
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5262

Putting those issues aside, I have noticed another issue. If I change the value of "com.idblue.r8" to "com.idblue.r9", then re-install the plugin, then rebuild the project, the plist file is not updated.

Neither the value "com.idblue.r8" is updated, nor are the bugs in CB-4731 and CB-5262 triggered.

It's as if by changing the config section in plugin.xml, it somehow causes some issue where the plist won't then be regenerated.
