   For plugins this is not actually true. 
   
   I ran `cordova platform add android` on a Phonegap Build project that only has `www` and `config.xml`:
   
   ```
   C:\Users\Jan\Downloads\tt (master -> origin)
   λ ls
   config.xml  www/
   
   C:\Users\Jan\Downloads\tt (master -> origin)
   λ cordova platform add android

                  This plugin is only applicable for versions of cordova-android greater than 4.0. If you have a previous platform version, you do *not* need this plugin since the whitelist will be built in.

       },
       "platforms": [
         "android"
       ]
     }
   }
   ```
   
   Note how it recognized the plugins in `config.xml` and put them in `package.json` (which it also created from scratch).
