deployment-target preference is not used during plugin add to create podfile.

Bug Report

When adding a plugin that has a podspec defined the perference deployment-target is not used for the creation of the podfile.

Problem

What is expected to happen?

When adding a plugin with a podspec tag in the plugin.xml a podfile is created, this works. But Looking at the cordova code (api.js) when a tag is present in the ios platform section of the applications config.xml the podfile created should have "platform :ios, '13.0'" but it is always being set to the default "10.0" for cordova-ios 5.1.1.

What does actually happen?

The podfile created from the plugin add always defaults to the cordova-ios ios version default value. The depoyment-target set in the config.xml is not making it to the cordova-common api.js where the plugin add code is.

Information

My plugin has a framework requirement of ios 13 or greater. I can edit the podfile and then run "pod install" cocoapods does the install without an error.

Command or Code

plugin with podspec, have in your apps config.xml cordova plugin add my-plugin cordova platform add ios
