> I have a bugfix branch for a platform, and while waiting for it to be merged and released, I published my fork of that platform to a scoped package on npm (i.e., @dpogue/cordova-android).
> In config.xml, there does not appear to be a way to specify that {{cordova prepare}} should restore that scoped package instead of the canonical Apache one.
> \\
> Attempt #1:
> {code:xml}
> <engine name="@dpogue/cordova-android" spec="~4.1.1" />
> {code}
> results in a warning being printed about a null or unrecognized platform.
> \\
> Attempt #2:
> {code:xml}
> <engine name="android" spec="@dpogue/cordova-android~4.1.1" />
> {code}
> results in pulling the Apache version from npm, ignoring my scoped package.
> A workaround for now is to use a git URL, but the advantage of npm is that it can download a tarball without the network cost of doing a full git clone.
> \\
> Also worth noting that scoped npm packages are supported with plugins:
> {code:xml}
> <plugin name="@dpogue/cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview" spec="~1.4.0" />
> {code}
> works as intended.
