Description

The issues is found in version 5.1.1, but for some reasons I can not specify this version submitting this issue.
When cordova plugin is modifying the property CFBundleURLTypes, duplicate entries are added each time cordova build ios is run.
I.e.:
https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/LaunchMyApp-PhoneGap-Plugin.git
https://github.com/Wizcorp/phonegap-facebook-plugin
in launch my app plugin.xml

 <config-file target="*-Info.plist" parent="CFBundleURLTypes">
      <array>
        <dict>
          <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
          <array>
            <string>$URL_SCHEME</string>
          </array>
        </dict>
      </array>
    </config-file>

in facebook plugin.xml

<config-file target="*-Info.plist" parent="CFBundleURLTypes">
          <array>
            <dict>
              <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
              <array>
                <string>fb$APP_ID</string>
              </array>
            </dict>
          </array>
        </config-file>

after first build (or platform add) in file *-Info.plist

<array>
      <dict>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
          <string>fbXXXXX</string>
        </array>
      </dict>
      <dict>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
          <string>mycoolapp</string>
        </array>
      </dict>
    </array>

after second build (or platform add) in file *-Info.plist

<array>
      <dict>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
          <string>fbXXXXX</string>
        </array>
      </dict>
      <dict>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
          <string>mycoolapp</string>
        </array>
      </dict>
      <dict>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
          <string>fbXXXXX</string>
        </array>
      </dict>
      <dict>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
          <string>mycoolapp</string>
        </array>
      </dict>
    </array>

duplicate values are added each time after build
