variable
Persists the value of a CLI variable to be used when restoring a plugin during a prepare. This element is added to config.xml when a plugin that uses CLI variables is added using the --save flag. See the CLI reference for more information on adding plugins.
Note that this value is only used when the plugin is restored to the project during a prepare, changing it will not change the value used by the plugin in the current project. In order for changes to this value to take effect, remove the plugin from the project and restore it by running cordova prepare. See the preference element of plugin.xml for more details on CLI variables.
