[Workaround] couldn't parse contents of my-app-Info.plist

[biesbjerg]

Just spent a couple of hours figuring out why this plugin was corrupting my plist file and wanted to share my findings.

error: couldn't parse contents of '/my-app/platforms/ios/my-app/my-app-Info.plist': The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format.

Turns out plist.js v2.0.1 has a bug (it is fixed, but not yet released to NPM) where empty strings are parsed to null.
Repo issue can be found here : TooTallNate/plist.js#79

As a temporary workaround, you can add the specific commit, containing the fix, as a dependecy to your own package.json:

...
  "devDependencies": {
    "cordova-plugin-ios-localized-strings": "1.0.5",
    "plist": "git://github.com/TooTallNate/plist.js.git#4853b741cefcc53697ba333c964fe3504bd09585",
  }

Plist 2.1.0 is published, which fixes the error :-)
