Cordova adding plugin fails

Question

I have a phonegap app and trying to install a clipboard manager plugin as

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-clipboard-x

The output is:

Fetching plugin "cordova-plugin-clipboard-x" via npm
Installing "cordova-plugin-clipboard-x" for browser
Installing "cordova-plugin-clipboard-x" for ios
Failed to install 'cordova-plugin-clipboard-x':Error

Error: Could not find *-Info.plist file, or config.xml file.

I have no idea how to fix it. There is indeed a config.xml file in my root folder.

Firstly update your node and cordova version and then create the project. And then add the

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-clipboard-x

It will works.
