This pull request removes the version constraint from the cordova-plugin-file dependency in plugin.xml. This change aims to resolve an issue where the -OS5 suffix in the plugin version causes dependency resolution problems with Cordova's versioning system.
Problem
The current version constraint for cordova-plugin-file (>=2.0.0) does not accommodate versions with a suffix like -OS5. As a result, Cordova's dependency resolution fails even when the installed plugin version (6.0.2-OS5) should satisfy the specified constraint. This issue has been causing build failures for projects that rely on this specific version of the plugin.
Solution
By removing the explicit version constraint from the plugin.xml file, we allow the Cordova build process to proceed with the installed version of cordova-plugin-file, regardless of suffixes. This change is particularly important for environments that require the -OS5 variant and cannot switch to a version without the suffix.
Testing
The removal of the version constraint has been tested locally to ensure that the Cordova build process completes successfully with the 6.0.2-OS5 version of cordova-plugin-file. Further testing by other contributors is welcome to ensure that this change does not adversely affect other environments or use cases.
Backward Compatibility
This change should not affect backward compatibility as it simply broadens the range of acceptable versions for cordova-plugin-file. Projects that do not use the -OS5 variant will continue to resolve their dependencies as before.
Please review this change and consider merging it to help projects that rely on the -OS5 version of cordova-plugin-file. Thank you for your time and consideration.
