Description

my Plugin has an included ios framework, which resides in Opentok.framework directory.

Most iOS frameworks have symlinks within the directory. For example, in the current framework I use, these are the folders listed and their corresponding symlinks:
Headers -> Versions/Current/Headers
Opentok -> Versions/Current/Opentok
Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources
Versions

After publishing my plugin, symlinks seems to be missing. When I install the plugin into my app, typing 'ls' in my framework directory only produces one folder:
Versions

Plugin publish seems to be unable to upload symlinks? This issue does not exist if I install the plugin directly from the git source:
'cordova plugin add https://github.com/opentok/cordova-plugin-opentok'
