bug: locate proper Info.plist based on the configured scheme for cordova plugin missing configurations

[puopg]

Feature Request

When checking cordova plugins, seems the file name for "Info.plist" is hardcoded. In the guide for Capacitor 3, the guide instructs developers to rename the Info.plist files to things like "App qa-Info.plist". If you are using cordova plugins, warnings start to appear that things may need to be added to the Info.plist, since its looking for the incorrect hardcoded Info.plist file.

This is happening in this method:

capacitor/cli/src/cordova.ts

Line 354 in 902e1f5

async function logiOSPlist(configElement: any, config: Config, plugin: Plugin) {

This request is to add support for environment specific configuration for what the Info.plist file is named, so that these warnings are properly reported.

Warnings that are displayed are like:

In Capacitor 3.3.3

[fatal] Unable to read: /Users/myUserName/Desktop/code/project/ios/App/App/Info.plist
[fatal] Unable to read: /Users/myUserName/Desktop/code/project/ios/App/App/Info.plist

And in Capacitor 3.6.0, they are no longer [fatal] errors, but warnings. A big improvement i must say than in 3.3.3 though!

Platform(s)

iOS

Cordova Plugin seen on

Launch Navigator: https://github.com/dpa99c/phonegap-launch-navigator

Preferred Solution

Maybe add a configuration option in the ios config in capacitor to allow developers to specify the name of the Info.plist file to use, default to "Info.plist" if not set to maintain compatibility.

Thanks for the issue.
We already have a "scheme" config option for iOS, but it's not being used for locating the Info.plist path, so it's a bug, not a feature request.
