@ktop @riknoll yeah, config.xml should be part of this. Anything in
config.xml should trump whatever is specified in the plugin.xml. If we do modes
then default mode would be `add`, if nothing to `replace` then it becomes an
`add` and `delete` could take out the entire element. We can work on flags
later but getting attribute level manipulation into config.xml and plugin.xml
parsing would be amazing.
@purplecabbage you need to add:
```
<config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/manifest" attr="true">
<application android:name="MyApplication" android:isGame="true" />
<uses-sdk android:maxSdkVersion="22" />
</config-file>
```
into the plugin.xml of a plugin you are including in the project. So...
```
cordova create newproject
cordova platform add android
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-one-I-just-made-up
// modified the plugin.xml with the fragment from above
cordova prepare
// checked androidmanifest.xml for changes
```
> plugin.xml should be able to add attribute to an existing element in
> AndroidManifest.xml

> We have a need for a plugin we develop to add the attribute android:name to
> the <application> element to be able to point to a Class that tracks app
> sessions for analytics.
> plugin.xml only support via <config-file> only to add elements to
> AndroidManfist.xml this request is to add an enhancement to also handle
> adding an attribute to an existing element.
