   I just struggled for a few days with a related and pretty annoying issue, and my conclusion might help to isolate the case. Everytime I run the "cordova run android" command line, it detects some non-existent conflict for the AndroidManifest and deletes one by one every permission added by the phonegap-barcodescanner used by my app, along with one of the "edit-config" from the cordova-plugin-push (this is what made me question everything)
   
   I thought that maybe I add something written in my config.xml file that really made a conflict, but I have no permission change in it, so the content of the config.xml alone is not the issue here.
   
   I tried the verbose option but it does not explicitly tell what is in conflict, so i tried to comment everything I have in my config.xml file, and I figured out that the conflict comes from trying to merge config into the application as follow : 
   ```xml 
   <edit-config file="AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application">
               <application android:theme="@style/AppTheme"/>
   </edit-config>
   ```
   
   It seems also relevant to say that I do not use the option "--force" when adding a plugin, but I still only have this small warning line "Conflict found, edit-config changes from config.xml will overwrite plugin.xml changes" everytime I use the "cordova run android" command, ONLY when I have the previous merge in my config.xml file. If I comment it, no conflict is detected and all my permissions/edit-config stay in the generated AndroidManifest.
   
   So, TLDR, my permissions are deleted when doing `cordova run android`command by the fact that I have an edit-config trying to merge an atrribute to my application tag. The edit-config is then done, but every run command deletes some line from the generated AndroidManifext.xml.
