Description

When using a plugin with a .NET dependency (such as the globalization plugin) targeting Windows 10, the .NET Native compiler is invoked. In order to build with the .NET Native compiler, however, the app must be built with one or more architectures chosen:

> cordova build windows – --appx=uap --archs=x64

For this, detect the condition and output a helpful error message that says that an architecture must be specified.
