Hello everyone, How are you? I am new member in this community. I have an issue with recently developed cordova plugin.

The problem is that plugin preference & variable is not copying value from app config.xml or package.json files after build.

Example 1:
<preference
&lt;config-file target="app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml" parent="/*"&gt;
    &lt;string name="publicKey"&gt;$SDK_KEY&lt;/string&gt;
&lt;/config-file&gt;```
Example 2:
```&lt;preference name="SDK_KEY" default="Required" /&gt;

&lt;edit-config file="app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml" target="/*" mode="merge"&gt;
    &lt;string name="publicKey"&gt;$SDK_KEY&lt;/string&gt;
&lt;/edit-config&gt;```

I'd raise an issue with that, I think I reproduced it the other day trying to reproduce a completely different problem.

I think the variables work if supplied via --variable but I noticed variables wasn't being taken from package.json or config.xml, at least with the cordova-android platform.
