Can no longer install

[craig-at-rsg]

Issue: With version 0.7.6 and up plugman installation fails.

This works: plugman install --platform android --project ./platforms/android --plugin https://github.com/apla/me.apla.cordova.app-preferences#version/0.6.3 --plugins_dir plugins

This doesn't work: plugman install --platform android --project ./platforms/android --plugin https://github.com/apla/me.apla.cordova.app-preferences#version/0.7.7 --plugins_dir plugins

The failure message is: Cannot find module 'cordova'

Here's the stack trace:

I have a solution for you:

1) Download me.apla.cordova.app-preferences plugin locally.

2) Extract it.

3) Open /bin/after_prepare.js and /bin/lib/android.js files.

4) Modify the content as it follows: // cordova = req('cordova'), // cordova_lib = cordova.cordova_lib, cordova_lib = req('cordova-lib'),

5) Save the files and create a new zip file of the plugin.

And thanks to Andi from Monaca for figuring this out.

Any way the change digicomisrael outlined can become part of this project?
