Description

Thanks so much for adding the new "custom frameworks" feature for plugins in 3.3.0.

I've found an issue with it though. When you build/prepare the iOS project, the path to the iOS framework is absolute.

That's not cool, because if I commit the `platforms` directory to version control (which I don't like to do, but I currently have to due to other build issues), anyone else who checks it out in a different location the framework will not be found.

Basically, I have a plugin like so:

/plugins/
/com.idblueplugin
/src
/ios
/frameworks
/IDBLUE.framework
plugin.xml

Inside plugin.xml I have a reference to the framework:

<framework src="src/ios/frameworks/IDBLUE.framework" custom="true" />

When I build the project, I would expect it should create a relative path to that custom framework:

FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS = (
"$(inherited)",
"../../platforms/ios",
);

But instead it creates an absolute path like this:

FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS = (
"$(inherited)",
"/Users/asgeo1/Projects/myproject/cordova/platforms/ios",
);
