distinctdan opened a new issue #702: Build is broken when using edit-config for "android:" attribute
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/702
 
 
   # Bug Report
   
   I'm using an `edit-config` block to set the orientation of my app. It looks like this:
   ```
   <edit-config file="AndroidManifest.xml"
                target="/manifest/application/activity[@android:name='MainActivity']"
                mode="merge">
       <activity android:screenOrientation="landscape"></activity>
   </edit-config>
   ```
   It edits `AndroidManifest` correctly, but building produces the error:
   ```
   Android resource compilation failed
   /orbs/cordova/platforms/android/app/src/main/res/xml/config.xml:51: error: unbound prefix.
   ```
   
   The issue is that cordova or something isn't adding the android namespace to the outputted widget, so the `android:` prefix is causing it to error. I've even tried adding the namespace to the widget manually, but it gets overwritten. It's the same problem described in this thread on the custom-config plugin: https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-custom-config/issues/24.
