bramk opened a new issue #636: Missing cordova_plugins.js after platform add/prepare
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/636
 
 
   When adding android platform 7.0.0/7.1.4 on an existing project I can build/install the app, but it is non-functional because `cordova_plugins.js` is missing. All is fine using android platform 6.3.0/6.4.0.
   
   I did some debugging and what I can see when I do `cordova platform add android@7.1.4`:
   
   1. `PluginManager#` writes `www` and not `platform_www` because `options.usePlatformWww` is not truthy? On platform 6.3.0/6.4.0 it does.
   2. During merging the `cordova_plugins.js` version in `www` is deleted, because it does not exist in `platform_www`.
   ```
   Merging and updating files from [www, platforms/android/platform_www] to platforms/android/app/src/main/assets/www
   ...
     delete platforms/android/app/src/main/assets/www/cordova_plugins.js (no source)
    ```
   When I subsequently add a plugin using `cordova plugin add` the  `cordova_plugins.js` is being created in both `www` and `platform_www` and everything is fine again.
   
   From CB-11022 I got that the `usePlatformWww` was added as an optimization, but Iḿ not clear how this should work hear or why it breaks.
   
   version disclosures:
   node@v6.9.5
   npm@3.10.10
   cordova@8.1.2 (cordova-lib@8.1.1)
