dominic-simplan commented on issue #336: Build command needs to be run twice to apply config.xml changes to appxmanifest

   @janpio thank you for taking the time to investige. I can confirm your behaviour with an empty project, but I still get the described issue within my project, even with cordova 9.0.0.
   
   I've setup a new project in order to find out what's causing this issue (https://github.com/dominic-simplan/cordova-windows-config). 
   While trying to reproduce the issue, I came across a strange behaviour which I don't understand and which might be related.
   
   After running cordova prepare in the linked project, windows.json contains the following (because of the camera plugin):
   
   ```
   "package.windows10.appxmanifest": {
     "parents": {
       "/Package/Capabilities": [{
           "xml": "<DeviceCapability Name=\"webcam\" />",
           "count": 1
         }
       ]
     }
   }
   ```
   
   Now I add this to the config.xml and build the project:
   ```
   <platform name="windows">
   	<config-file parent="/Package/Capabilities" target="package.appxmanifest">
   		<Capability Name="allJoyn" />
   	</config-file>
   </platform>
   ```
   
   The windows.json now contains
   ```
   "package.windows10.appxmanifest": {
     "parents": {
       "/Package/Capabilities": [{
           "xml": "<Capability Name=\"allJoyn\" />",
           "count": 1,
           "id": "config.xml"
         }
       ]
     }
   }
   ```
   
   Why is the webcam capability gone? `<config-file>` should append the tag, shouldn't it? Even if I remove the `<config-file>` from the config.xml again, the according object in the windows.json is now empty:
   ```
   "package.windows10.appxmanifest": {
     "parents": {
       "/Package/Capabilities": []
     }
   }
   ```
   
   Before I do any further investigation, I need to understand if this behaviour is correct or not.
