Expected Behavior

cordova-ios plugin should not be ignored

Code Reproduction

I’ve try this in an “empty” project and the plugin is still being ignored.

node --version output: v17.4.0

pod --version output (iOS issues only): 1.11.2

Additional Context

[jcesarmobile]

It’s included inside @capacitor/ios, it’s just a version of Cordova that makes possible to use Cordova plugins inside Capacitor apps, nothing that need to be documented because it’s transparent for the users, you just install @capacitor/ios packages and you can use Cordova plugins as you would do in a Cordova app.
