Has anyone else run into this? See error and platforms xml below. The plugin is added to the project. Thanks in advance!

My xml looks like this:

<platform name="ios">
    <config-file target="config.xml" parent="/*">
            <feature name="MyPlugin">
                <param name="ios-package" value="MyPluginSwift" />
            </feature>
        </config-file>
        <preference name="pods_ios_min_version" value="8.0"/>
    <pod name="MyPlugin" git="https://github.com/cyclic/MyPlugin" branch="develop" />
        <source-file src="src/ios/Yada.swift" target-dir="src/com/yada/plugin" />
    </platform>

I'm sure you've probably figured this out already but you're using <preference> which is only supported in the config.xml. What you should be using is <pods-config>

Try this instead

<pods-config ios-min-version="8.0">
