I think we should start testing plugins with cordova-android 4.1.1 as is the lower required by Google to publish on Google play. If some plugin doesn't compile then increase the engine version to next cordova-android. In example, camera plugin doesn't compile with cordova-android 4.1.1.
For cordova-ios we should require at least 3.4.1 as is the version that included the 64bit support, required by apple, not sure if they require a newer version for some other reason now.
