Plugin not found after upgrade to Cordova iOS 7.1.1 (works in 7.1.0)

[rskrthk]

Issue Description

After upgrading from Cordova iOS 7.1.0 to 7.1.1, the plugin cordova-plugin-wkwebview-file-xhr
is no longer recognized at runtime. I get the following error in logs:

ERROR: Plugin 'CDVWKWebViewFileXhr' not found, or is not a CDVPlugin

This setup worked fine on Cordova iOS 7.1.0.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Cordova project.
2. Add platform: cordova platform add ios@7.1.1
3. Add plugins:
   • cordova-plugin-wkwebview-file-xhr
   • (default plugins like device, splashscreen, whitelist, etc.)
4. Build and run on iOS.
5. Open Xcode logs.

Expected Result

• CDVWKWebViewFileXhr should load and register as a CDVPlugin.
• XHR/fetch to local files should be allowed via the plugin.

Actual Result

• Runtime error:

ERROR: Plugin 'CDVWKWebViewFileXhr' not found, or is not a CDVPlugin

• The plugin is listed in cordova plugin list.
• The plugin source exists under platforms/ios/Plugins.

Environment

• Cordova CLI: 12.0.0
• Cordova iOS: 7.1.1 (works on 7.1.0)
• Xcode: 16.4
• Salesforce Mobile SDK: 13.0.2 (hybrid app)

Additional Notes

• Possibly related to changes in Cordova iOS 7.1.1 plugin registration.
• Same app + plugin combination worked fine with Cordova iOS 7.1.0.
• Cross-posted similar report on apache/cordova-ios.
